Challenges in the pharmacogenomic annotation of whole genomes

Abstract

Next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled the sequencing of an entire genome for less than $4,000. With access to all the genetic variation in an individual, our task will be to use this information to assess the genetic influences on drug efficacy, toxicity, and dosage.
