Genomics is the study of the complete set of DNA in a person or other organism. DNA underpins a large proportion of an individual's health and disease status, therefore a genomic medicine approach is increasingly being applied in clinical settings. Genomic medicine is where the study of clinical outcomes (measurable changes in health and well-being) is combined with genomics so researchers can better understand how a person’s genome contributes to disease. Increasingly, advances in our understanding of the genome are contributing to improvements in disease diagnosis, drug discovery and targeted therapeutics.
