Millennium Pharmaceuticals of Cambridge, Mass., is using genomics to understand disease processes to develop drugs.

The study of variations within microbial genomes will also need to be evaluated to use genomics of infectious disease within public health.

The money's in using genomics to help with the development of these next-generation superdrugs.

The enzymes were identified as non-heme di oxygenases, and were isolated using functional genomics.

Until it dropped mirostipen yesterday, it had four drugs developed using genomics in clinical trials with a fifth about to start.

Its nearest competitor, Millennium Pharmaceuticals, has started clinical trials on one drug that it discovered using genomics.

He said drugs developed using genomics would continue to outnumber the improved versions of older drugs in the company's pipeline.

The new drug, called MLN4760, joins only a handful of other drugs in the pharmaceutical industry that were developed using genomics.

The test was developed using genomics and bioinformatics technologies.
