Area of Science:

  • Genomics and Molecular Biology
  • Human Genetics

Background:

  • Human genome research aims to map and sequence all DNA nucleotides.
  • Completion of human genome sequencing was anticipated before 2005.

Observation:

  • Identification of 50,000-100,000 human genes.
  • Knowledge of the complete human proteome is expected.
  • Comparative genomics across species will illuminate life's molecular basis and evolutionary history.

Findings:

  • Genomics provides a foundational 'Biological Periodic Table'.
  • This enables a comprehensive understanding of life, health, and disease.
  • New diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic tools will be derived.

Implications:

  • The advent of Predictive-Preventive Medicine and Precision Medicine.
  • Profound societal changes and implications are anticipated.
  • Societies must prepare for the transformative impact of genomics.
