Immunogenomics: recent discoveries
Journal Title: International Journal of Genetics - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Immunogenomics is a new research field, which addresses the interface between host and (pathogen) proteome, bridging informatics technology, genomics, proteomics, immunology and clinical medicine. The switch from the paradigm of solely hypothesis-driven immunological research to a more interactive and flexible relationship between classical research and a new discovery-driven approach is termed immunogenomics. This review will focus on the immunogenomics and recent discoveries in Immunogenomics, which are leading to insights into novel immunomodulatory therapies. The research regarding the different aspects of immunogenomics; rather than providing a comprehensive review, we will highlight various factors that influence immunogenomics and how modulation of the immune response may be incorporated into future trends.
