By doing so, pharmacogenomics aims to develop rational means to optimise drug therapy, with respect to the patients' [[genotype]], to ensure maximum efficacy with minimal [[adverse effect (medicine)|adverse effects]]. Such approaches promise the advent of "[[personalized medicine]]", in which drugs and drug combinations are optimised for each individual's unique genetic makeup. Pharmacogenomics is the whole [[genome]] application of [[pharmacogenetics]], which examines the single gene interactions with drugs. ==See also== * [[Genomics]] ** [[Chemogenomics]] ** [[Structural genomics]] ** [[Pharmacogenetics]] ** [[Toxicogenomics]] ** [[Clinomics]] *[[Pharmaceutical company]] ==External links== *[http://www.fda.gov/cder/genomics Genomics @ FDA] FDA's resource on genomics *[http://astore.amazon.com/pharmacologyd-20/detail/1588298876/102-8665168-3357719 Pharmacogenomics in Drug Discovery and Development], a book on pharmacogenomics, diseases, and therapeutics *[http://www.nature.com/omics/subjects/pharmacogenomics/index.html Nature '''pharmacogenomics''' gateway] * [http://www.pharmgkb.org PharmGKB] The Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base, an online free tool for Pharmacogenomics research * [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/About/primer/pharm.html NCBI Primer on Pharmacogenomics], a quick introduction to the promise of customised drugs. * [http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu/units/pharma/ Pharmacogenomics: Drugs Designed for You], an accessible and comprehensive look at pharmacogenomics research, from the University of Utah's Genetic Science Learning Center * [http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa004&articleID=0006C064-7701-12ED-B70183414B7F0000 A Drug to Call One's Own : Will medicine finally get personal?] - Scientific American Magazine (August 2005) {{genomics-footer}} [[Category:Genomics]] [[Category:Pharmacology]] [[Category:Pharmacy]] {{genetics-stub}} [[ca:Farmacogenòmica]] [[de:Pharmakogenomik]] [[es:Farmacogenómica]] [[fr:Pharmacogénomique]] [[it:Farmacogenomica]] [[pl:Farmakogenomika]] [[th:ฟาร์มาโคยีโนมิกส์]]
