Abstract:
The post-genome era is at our door, and soon the complete human genome sequence will be available for the next set of goals. Israel is well equipped and skilled to join the worldwide harvest of the human genome, but additional massive government investment is required. This will affect various domains of activity, including the fields of diagnostics and therapeutics. The technologies and know-how described above constitute the basis for future human genome applications in Israel.
