Abstract
The advent of high-throughput profiling technologies, in particular next-generation sequencing, has revolutionized our genomic studies and provided unprecedented insights into the human diseases. The use of genetic testing in the clinical settings has grown substantially and has now entered medical practice around the world. Here we provide an overview of recent advances in various high-throughput methods for genomic and functional genomic analyses. Next we review recent findings in genomics, ranging from single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with respiratory diseases and genomic alterations in lung cancers to aberrant gene expressions in lung diseases. Finally, we summarize the current status of clinical sequencing efforts and further describe challenges in the clinical implementation of personal genomic medicine. We anticipate increase in the use of clinical sequencing, which require sufficient resource of computation to interpret large genomic datasets in a clinical laboratory. It is also crucial to extend existing electronic medical record systems so that we can interact with genomic data and make full use of personal genomic information. Furthermore, standardization of genomic data is also necessary for the efficient exchange of patients’ genomes between hospitals.
