What is precision genomics?

Precision genomics is a field of medicine and research that uses detailed genetic information from an individual’s DNA to guide the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases. By analyzing a person’s genome, healthcare providers can identify genetic variations that may affect how diseases develop or respond to therapies. This approach allows for highly personalized medicine, improving treatment outcomes and reducing unwanted side effects. Precision genomics is widely used in cancer treatment, rare disease diagnosis, and pharmacogenomics.
