2 2010/12/29 For the First time: Whole-Genome Sequencing Delivers New Treatment Options for Twins with Rare Genetic Movement Disorder

3 Yes, it is here the era of personalized medicine when physicians use wholegenome sequence to improve medical care Whole-Genome Sequencing for Optimized Patient Management. Bainbridge et al Sci Transl. Med 3:87re /12/29

4 Cost Per Human Genome (USD) Current Direct Cost 2010/12/29

5 From HGP to New Paradigm The HGP Era ( ): One human genome done, and we ignored the differences among individuals The Post HGP Era: the HapMap Projects and hundreds of genomes done, and we realized that the differences among people are vast in numbers The New Paradigm: tens of thousands of genomes done, and we realized that we can map all sequence variations and tailor them to human health and disease status 5

6 In 2010 alone, the human genome sequencing projects and associated research and industry activity directly and indirectly generated: $67 billion in U.S. economic output $20 billion in personal income for Americans 310 thousand jobs. 2010/12/29

9 What cheaper sequencing can do? Genome-centric goals: genome sequences and genomic variomes for population genetics and evolution Cell-centric goals: transcriptomes and proteomes for cell biology, physiology, and pathology Epigenome-centric goals: methylomes and nucleosome/histone marks for gene regulation and phenomes Ribogenome-centric goals: RNA editing/splicing (other than mrnas), mirnaomes, ncrnaomes, and chemical modifications for RNA-based gene regulations 9

10 Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of Wisconsin Madison, and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT. The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery Beijing Institute of Genomics, CAS 10

11 The RNA World Is Early but Not Small! The RNA World (Gilbert) Ribosyme (Cech and Altman); In 1989, Thomas R. Cech and Sidney Altman won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their "discovery of catalytic properties of RNA. In 2006, Craig Mello and Andrew won Nobel Prize on the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) Beijing Institute of Genomics, CAS 11

24 Impact of Genetic Diseases on Adult Life

25 Rare Genetic Disorders Are Not So Rare 2010/12/29

26 GENETIC TESTS may be done for diverse purposes pertaining to clinical genetics, including the diagnosis of genetic diseases in children and adults; the identification of future disease risks; the prediction of drug responses; and the detection of risks of disease to future children. Pre-implantation diagnosis Prenatal diagnosis Newborn screening Carrier testing Diagnostic testing Pre-symptomatic testing Predictive testing
