The new discipline is born from a marriage of molecular and cell biology with classical genetics and is fostered by computational science. Eric D. Green, MD, PhD 1

A vision for the future of genomics research: A blueprint for the genomic era (2003) Nature technological leaps that seem so far off as to be almost fictional but which, if they could be achieved, would revolutionize biomedical research and clinical practice. [For example,] the ability to sequence DNA at costs that are lower by four to five orders of magnitude than the current cost, allowing a human genome to be sequenced for $1000 or less. The $1,000 genome (2014) Nature With a unique programme, the US government has managed to drive the cost of genome sequencing down towards a much anticipated target.

Precision Medicine A broader context for individualizing medical care to advance human health Today: most medical care based on expected response of the average patient Tomorrow: medical care based on individual genomic, environmental, and lifestyle differences that enable more precise ways to prevent and treat disease Precision Medicine Concept is not entirely new: Prescription eyeglasses Blood transfusions What is needed now: Rigorous research program Multidisciplinary approach Audacious scale and scope President Barack Obama Jan 30, 2015 the budget I send this Congress on Monday will include a new Precision Medicine Initiative that brings America closer to curing diseases like cancer and diabetes, and gives all of us access, potentially, to the personalized information that we need to keep ourselves and our families healthier.
