application prospect in disease prevention and individualized treatment. What’s more, pharmacogenomics is also a
keyword with relatively high co-occurrence frequency in the study of genomics, and it has developed new ideas
for traditional pharmaceutical research. Because of the different reactions of different patients to the same drugs,
individualized medication guidance services are provided for patients by genotype detection to improve the
efficacy and ensure the safety of drug use.

Researchers in China should firmly grasp the frontier and hot spot of genomics research, and carry out in-depth
research in advantageous fields. Researchers in the field of medicine should also increase their enthusiasm for
genomics research, and apply the research results to clinical practice, making this strategy of individualized
treatment a reality.
3 Materials and Methods
3.1 Domestic database retrieval
This study retrieves the genomics related studies in the Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), which is used
as a data source in the field of genomics research in China. The subject word was "Genomics" and the time span
was limited from 1985-01-01 to 2016-4-30. The data sources were China Academic Journal Network Publishing
Database, China Doctoral Dissertations Full-text Database, China Master’s Theses Full-text Database,
Characteristic Journal and China Mono-graphic Series Full-text Database. 10164 articles were retrieved. A total of
8512 articles excluding conference notice, agency introduction, task interview, forum essay and publicity of
science popularization were used as a sample of genomics research in China.
3.2 Foreign database retrieval
This study retrieves the relevant studies on genomics in the Web of Science

core collection database as a
foreign source of data in this field. The data sources were databases like Science Citation Index Expanded
(SCI-EXPANDED), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI),
Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Social
Science & Humanities (CPCI-SSH) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). The subject word was
"Genomics" and the time span was limited from 1985 to 2016. The literature type was ARTICLE or REVIEW. A
total of 40519 articles were retrieved and used as an international research sample in the field of genomics.
