Abstract: Pharmacogenomics is the study of the impact of genetic variations or genotypes of individuals on their drug responses or drug metabolism.Compared to traditional genomics research,pharmacogenomic research is more closely related to clinical practice.Pharmacogenomic discoveries may effectively assist clinicians and healthcare providers in determining the right drugs and the proper doses for each patient,which can help avoid side effects or adverse reactions and improve the effect of drug therapy.Currently,pharmacogenomic approaches have proved to be valuable when it comes to the use of cardiovascular drugs,antineoplastic drugs,aromatase inhibitors,and agents for infectious diseases.The rapid innovation in sequencing technology and genome-wide association studies has led to the development of numerous data resources and dramatically changed the landscape of pharmacogenomic research.Here we describe some of these web resources along with their names,web links,main contents,and our ratings.
