Genomics and Pharmaceutical Industry – a vital partnership for treatment and control of diseases.
Genomics, the study of genes, is considered to be the most transformative technology of the 21st century. Genomics has scientifically proven abilities in the prevention, management and treatment of diseases and has emerged as a useful and effective way to diagnose serious diseases like cancer, ancestry genetic diseases, etc., For example, genome sequencing helps in detecting the cancer in its early stage and helps the clinicians to provide proper oncology treatments for patients. COVID-19 has positively impacted the genomics market as the researchers have gained a better understanding of the coronavirus because of the innovative genome technologies with senior scientists and researchers confirming that genome sequencing has revealed that the omicron variant shows a lot of mutation in its spike protein, unlike the delta variant. Advanced genomics techniques have made the process of sequencing a lot easier and today, a human genome can be sequenced within 24 hours and consu...
