Abstract

This study focused on the trajectory of the human genome sequencing and the emanating technologies developed to address the leading causes of death in the industrialized nations. It also examined the flourishing biotechnology and industrial startup companies established for wealth creation. However, in the developing and least-developed nations, we discussed the inability of these nations to have access to capital, the Internet and other telecommunication network to create quadripartite linkage among governments, industries, universities, venture capitalists who create local startup companies. The need to ingeniously revise, and develop innovative technologically-oriented curricula in their academic institutions was emphasized. By far most important, they must invest intellectual resources to eliminate the existing barriers between scientific disciplines and behavioral sciences, because genomics is an eclectic science. Expert committees formed from these intellectual groups could devise the strategies and recommendations to eliminate poverty, reduce unemployment and eventually create badly needed national wealth.
