Genomics as a Final Frontier, or Just a Way Station

This article is on the Genomc revolution and how it is forming very rapidly. In the article they refer to the revoluton coming very soon and guarentee (sort of) that it will be here within the next decade. The revoluton is that treatment for all illnesses will be individualized and they will concentrate on the individual gene causing the problem rather then a group ofgenes. They give an example of cancer and how they will be able to focus and fix the indvidual gene that is causing the problem rather then expose the human and all of the genes to chemotherapy possbly harming the whole humane and many more genes that are not affected just for one gene.



With this new revolution individuals will be defined at a more granular level then ever imaginable. The only issues that follow this new revolution is that some people might not want for their doctors to know them so closely as well as with anything they might not want to know the nature of whats wrong and may ask alot of questions about their and their kids future, but all optons have been weighed and the good in this new revolution certaintly out weighs the bad. We are makng huge strides in the genomics world and this is certainly a prime example of the places we are going and the goals we intend on accomplishing.
