Abstract

Discussions of clinical genetics and genomics often focus on screening for disease-causing genes in humans and the promise of targeted therapies. Another important area of research is analysis of pathogen genomes. Genetics and genomics-based approaches, such as population genomics and phylogenetics, provide insight into mechanisms of resistance, sources of infections, and pathogen transmission routes.

摘要

临床遗传学和基因组学的讨论通常集中在筛查人类致病基因以及靶向治疗的前景上。另一个重要的研究领域是病原体基因组分析。基于遗传学和基因组学的方法，如群体基因组学和系统发育学，有助于深入了解耐药机制、感染源和病原体传播途径。
