The interaction of genes underpins all physiological processes, in health as well as disease. Diagnostic medicine, which functions to aid in the evaluation of an individual's health, will benefit significantly from genomic research. Genomic databases and bioinformatics are emerging as valuable tools

β¦ Synopsis
The benefit of genomics lies in the speeding up of research efforts in other fields of biology, including neurobiology. Through accelerated progress in positional cloning and genetic mapping, genomics has forced us to confront at a much faster pace the difficult problem of defining gene function. Elucidation of the function of identified disease genes and other genes expressed in the Central nervous system has to await conceptual developments in other fields.

Over the past two decades, competition in the pharmaceutical industry has been characterized by three factors: 1. Competitive advantage driven by blockbuster drugs 2. Vertical integration from discovery through sales 3. Peripheral role as suppliers in the health care system In this environment, suc
Genomics is defined as a set of related technologies which are focused on the discovery of genes implicated in human disease. Although many of the estimated 100,000 genes in the human genome have been at least partially identified by nucleotide sequence, elucidation of biological function has been a
