Precision medicine is about personalized disease treatment leading to targeted therapies for each individual. Every person is unique from other due to their unique genetic code. A person’s genetic code is called its genome. We know the sequence of human genome due to Human Genome Project. Human Genome Project aimed at sequencing and mapping all the genes in a human genome. This was all possible due to the Sequencing Technology

An important technique in collecting data on the human body by taking images if human interior. These images can be further used for clinical analysis & medical intervention. Imaging helps to reveal internal structures hidden behind bones and to diagnose as well as treat disease.
In Data Science, sequence processing and image analysis play an important role. Data Science is all about analyzing test data with the help of trained datasets and doing a rigorous analysis. So the first and foremost requirement is having abundant test datasets. More sufficient data we will have, the easier it will be in doing the analysis. So in both of the methods, Sequence Processing, as well as image analysis of human body major advantage, is abundant data.
