    Advances in personalized medicine have led to an increase in pharmacogenomics studies that involve testing individuals for drug metabolism enzyme and transporter gene polymorphisms implicated in drug response. As a consequence, there is a growing demand for affordable, easy to use technologies with fast sample-to-results workflows that can accommodate testing customizable sets of target gene variants and a changeable number of samples. Additionally, data analysis tools are needed to facilitate translation of an individual’s genetic information to their diploid content of gene-level star allele haplotypes, which can be correlated with drug metabolism enzyme phenotypes. Here we describe the development of a comprehensive pharmacogenomics experiments workflow solution to meet this need. High quality data was generated from purified buccal swab DNAs run with TaqMan® SNP genotypi.. View More»
