Abstract

The incorporation of bioinformatics data in clinical practice is almost happening, mainly due to the rapid growth and access to next-generation sequencing. Thus, personalized precision medicine receives private and government incentives to improve the quality of life and the well-being of the population in the long term. We explore initiatives that seek to map the genome and integrate them with population clinical data, as well as its benefits. Then, we describe the need to develop advanced protocols for exchanging information and platforms capable of processing clinical and genomic data, seeking to increase the well-being of the patients.
