Genomics future trends

Today it appears that future trends in drug development and industrial pharmacokinetics will be driven by three factors the emergence of genomics, advances in bioanalytical technology, and the need for rapid proof of concept and better surrogate markers for drug efficacy. 

Research and development of recombinant DNA technology has recently been expanding more and more rapidly. Global trends exemplified by the genome projects begin to exert profound effects on the future strategy of development, but those are beyond the scope of this brief review. 

Because of the development of massive analysis technologies in genomics and computational biology, we can outline a trend to interplay and integrate the computational and experimental techniques. Thus, the methods and resources to identify protein interactions that combine both approaches will be used as a routine protocol in the future.
