genomeinformed
Genome-informed, sometimes written genomeinformed, is an adjective describing approaches that incorporate genomic information—DNA sequences, gene variants, expression profiles, and other omics data—into decision making in research, medicine, public health, agriculture, and industry. It emphasizes translating genomic insights into practical outcomes while accounting for uncertainties and context.
In medicine, genome-informed practices include precision or personalized medicine, where an individual's germline or tumor genome
In public health, genomic data enable outbreak surveillance, phylogenetic analysis of pathogens, and monitoring of transmission
In agriculture and biotechnology, genome-informed breeding leverages genomic selection and marker-assisted selection to improve crops and
Common challenges include ensuring clinical or functional validity of genomic interpretations, data privacy and consent, infrastructure
