genomics and medicine

Genomics is the study of an organism's complete set of DNA, known as its genome, including all genes and how they interact. In medicine, genomics helps identify genetic factors that influence health, disease risk, and individual responses to treatments. By analyzing a person's genetic information, healthcare providers can offer more personalized care, such as targeted therapies and early detection of genetic conditions. This integration of genomics into medicine aims to improve diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, making healthcare more precise and effective for each individual.
