This landmark accomplishment launched the field of genomics, the integrated study of all the genes in the human body and the related biomedical interventions that can be tailored to benefit a person's health. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToday genomics, part of a larger movement toward personalized medicine, is poised to revolutionize health care. By cross-referencing an individual's genetic sequence -- their \u003cem\u003egenome\u003c\/em\u003e -- against known elements of \"Big Data,\" elements of genomics are already being incorporated on a widespread basis, including prenatal disease screening and targeted cancer treatments. With more innovations soon to arrive at the bedside, the promise of the genomics revolution is limitless. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis entry in the \u003cem\u003eWhat Everyone Needs to Know \u003c\/em\u003eseries offers an authoritative resource on the prospects and realities of genomics and personalized medicine. As this science continues to alter traditional medical paradigms, consumers are faced with additional options and more complicated decisions regarding their health care.

His laboratory has produced many fundamental technologies for characterizing the human genome and other \"-omes,\" including many pivotal discoveries about our DNA. In 2012 he used his own genome sequence to predict and help diagnose his own metabolic disorder, a story that received international news attention and shined a light on the promise of genomics.
