1.
In the future we will all have our genomes sequenced and healthcare providers will use simple blood tests to analyze an individual's molecular make-up.
The new technologies mean we will all receive diagnoses and treatments that are personalized.
Which of the following topics often covered in a life science course do you think connect to ideas about personalized medicine?
