Advances in genomic technologies such as transcriptional profiling are facilitating the classification of disease at the molecular level. Clinical phenotypes previously... 

In this section we will aim to review some of the key technologies used in the field of genomics and those related areas that have either had a major impact in the field of genomic technologies. Examples of the applications of these technologies will be provided in the next section. 

Understanding the molecular genetics of plant natural product pathways facilitates the engineering of these pathways for plant improvement and human benefit (see Chapter by Halkier et al). This chapter focuses attention on the need to start applying genomics technology to exotic species for development of biotech crops with novel natural products and with improved pest resistance and increased nutritional value.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) published the white paper titled Potential Implications of Genomics for Regulatory and Risk Assessment Applications at EPA in 2004 (US-EPA 2004). This paper was issued to present exemplary applications and resultant implications of the use of genomics technologies in US-EPA practice.
