The term pharmacogenomics is a recent arrival in the literature, but it is a term that anyone interested in pharmacogenetics cannot overlook. The increasing prevalence of the term reflects the progressive transition from genetics to genomics that is taking place in pharmaceutical science. The most famous research in genomics is a worldwide program called the Human Genome Project, a massive effort that is expected to change the science of human biology, including our understanding of human disease. For anyone concerned with drugs and pharmacology, the arrival of the term pharmacogenomics is a reflection of this broad change.
