Textbook Question
Chapter CHST4, Problem 1DQ
In this chapter, we present three case studies that use personalized genomics analysis to predict and treat diseases. Although these cases have shown how personalized medicine may evolve in the future, they have triggered controversy. What are some objections to these types of studies, and how can these objections be addressed?

If human genetics is leading toward preventive medicine, give the most significant expectations regarding gene therapy (please explain in detail).
With the many high throughput experiments that are used in biomedical research, how are some ways to integrate those datasets using systems biology? For example, if you had a microarray dataset that annotated gene expression levels and a proteomics dataset that identifed protein interactions, how could you jointly use both datasets to identify markers for a disease? Explain each step.
