Abstract

One of the holy grails of medical research in the next decade is what is often called "personalized" medicine. The goal is to individualize therapy and treatment options, and even prevention strategies. This movement is fueled by the rapid advances made in high-throughput biotechnologies. Prime examples include SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) chips and CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridization) arrays for DNA profiling, oligonucleotide arrays for mRNA expression, and advanced mass spectrometry for peptide/protein and metabolite quantitation.
