... schizophrenia. It could be argued that these abnormalities are not only a result of known bio-chemical causes, rather that these abnormalities are at least in part genetic, since genes regulate biological processes including brain function. Other evidence linking the genetic and the bio-chemical explanations involves an eye tracking dysfunction, a genetic trait strongly associated with schizophrenia, which may also reflect abnormalities ... ...
In 2001, the first nearly complete sequence of a vertebrate genome, the human genome, was published (1, 2). Soon after, several other genomes of vertebrates such as mouse, rat, dog, opossum, and chicken were reported. The tremendous effort put into sequencing and assembling these genome sequences is a prerequisite to furthering our understanding of genetic information and its role in development, disease, and evolution. One of the first insights from comparative genomics was unexpected, namely, that the majority of human genes have a single identifiable ortholog in other vertebrate species (3,...
... the potential for pathogens to cross borders increases and changes of climate create new habitats for disease agents. This mutual destiny could be strongly influenced by the emergence of the science of genomics.Genomics is a disruptive technology with the potential to widen or ameliorate these inequities in global health. Will we harness genomics to improve global health? Will our priority be ... ...
