DECODING DISEASE: PRECISION MEDICINE THROUGH GENOMICS AND PROTEOMICS

Precision medicine is revolutionizing healthcare by tailoring treatments to individual patients based on their unique genetic and proteomic profiles. Genomics, the analysis of an organism's complete set of DNA, allows us to discover disease-causing mutations and predict an individual's susceptibility to certain conditions. Proteomics, conversely, f

DNA may be the blueprint for the development of organisms. There's two different types of DNA: nuclear and mitochondrial. “I typically, in my own head, kind of lump Ancestry and 23andMe into one particular bucket and put FamilyTreeDNA in a totally individual bucket,” reported Natalie Ram, professor of regulation for the College of Maryland’s
