Abstract
Genetics and genomics both play critical roles in human health and diseases. Although all human beings are believed to be 99.9% identical in their genetic makeup, the remaining 0.1% genetic variability provides certain uniqueness to each incidivdual and holds important keys to the human appearance (e.g. color of the hair or eyes), personality and behavioural traits, health, and causes of nearly all diseases. In addition, these genetic variabilities can also reflect therapeutic response of an individual to medications from being responsive to non-responsive or even resulting in adverse drug reaction, often referred to as „pharmacogenetics or pharmacogenomics‟. A careful matching of these variable genetic makeup and tailor-made medical care is the specific goal of personalized medicine.
