How is Increasing Need for Personalized Medicine Driving Demand for Genomics?
As the prevalence of diseases across the globe is increasing, the need for more effective treatment methods is growing as well. The healthcare sector has been witnessing increased research & development activities for quite some time now, since there are several diseases for which no treatments are available even now. Because of all these reasons, the demand for personalized medicine has been increasing rapidly. As different patients respond differently to particular treatment, the need for shifting towards personalized treatment is growing for facilitating efficient disease management. Owing to this, the focus towards genomics, which is the study of a person’s genes (the genome), has risen considerably in the healthcare sector. In order to analyze, sequence, and assemble the function and structure of genomes, genomics makes use of a combination of deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) sequencing methods, recombinant DNA, and bioinformatics. As per a report by P&S Intelligence, the ...
