The findings illustrate the potential for a new era of genomic medicine, in which drug regimens are tailored to fit a person's genetic risk factors.

FORBES: Quelling An Inflamed Heart

To identify gene function, drug companies are forming partnerships with genomic startup firms.

FORBES: A hail of silver bullets

Their hopes that genomic information and other new tools would dramatically improve drug making are justified, but certainly not as fast or as cheaply as they once expected.
