Editorial: Advances in genomic and genetic tools, and their applications for understanding embryonic development and human diseases

Significant advances have been recently made in the development of the genetic and genomic platforms. This has greatly contributed to a better understanding of gene expression and regulation machinery. Consequently, this led to considerable progress in unraveling evidence of the genotype-phenotype c...

description Significant advances have been recently made in the development of the genetic and genomic platforms. This has greatly contributed to a better understanding of gene expression and regulation machinery. Consequently, this led to considerable progress in unraveling evidence of the genotype-phenotype correlation between normal/abnormal embryonic development and human disease complexity. For example, advanced genomic tools such as next-generation sequencing, and microarray-based CGH have substantially helped in the identification of gene and copy number variants associated with diseases as well as in the discovery of causal gene mutations. In addition, bioinformatic analysis tools of genome annotation and comparison have greatly aided in data analysis for the interpretation of the genetic variants at the individual level. This has unlocked potential possibilities for real advances toward new therapies in personalized medicine for the targeted treatment of human diseases. However, each of these genomic and bioinformatics tools has its limitations and hence further efforts are required to implement novel approaches to overcome these limitations. It could be possible that the use of more than one platform for genotype-phenotype deep analysis is an effective approach to disentangling the cause and treatment of the disease complexities. Our research topic aimed at deciphering these complexities by shedding some light on the recent applications of the basic and advanced genetic/genomic and bioinformatics approaches. These include studying gene-gene, protein-protein, and gene-environment interactions. We, in addition, aimed at a better understanding of the link between normal/abnormal embryonic development and the cause of human disease induction.
