Abstract

COVID-19 is the first pandemic in the post-genomic era, showcasing how advancements in fundamental research can be translated for real-time, global monitoring of viral variants, identifying the viral origin, understanding the host responses and differences in outcomes, as well as for drug repurposing and drug discovery. Genomic epidemiology and precision public health are some of the interdisciplinary fields which have come of age during this pandemic. Genomics will likely become an essential component of public health strategies for communicable and non-communicable diseases. Genomic medicine leads to disruption in terms of clinical management of the individual patient (precision medicine) or population health (precision public health).
