Abstract

The sequencing of the human genome and other organisms has been accompanied by major methodological and scientific advances in biology and molecular genetics technologies. Currently, in the post-genomic era, it is expected that the data accumulated for over 15 years of projects are finally translated into practical applications. This has generated a growing interest in the scientific community and a series of expectations about future applications of genetics in the understanding and diagnosis of complex diseases like cancer, diabetes, psychiatric and neurological disorders in general.
