Specialty Grand Challenge – Genetic Disorders

[摘要] Medical Genetics is going through rapid growth with the help of evolving high throughput technologies and collaborative work across various scientific areas. Human genome sequencing opened the flood gate in identifying gene mutations for hundreds of genetic diseases and the genetic markers associated with complex disease risk factors. This decade can be considered as the golden age of medical genetics, which raises the biggest challenges for scientists from various fields, such as: Genetics, “Omics,” Bioinformatics, stem cell biology, and system biology, etc. to work together.
