Advancements in genomic technologies have ushered application of innovative changes into biomedical sciences and clinical medicine. Consequently, these changes have created enormous opportunities to implement precision population/occupational disease prevention and target-specific disease intervention (or personalized medicine). To capture the opportunities, however, it is necessary is to develop novel, especially genomic-based, biomarkers which can provide precise and individualized health risk assessment. In this review, development of the Challenge-comet assay is used as an example to demonstrate how assays need to be validated for its sensitivity, specificity, and functional and quantitative features, and how assays can be used to provide individualized health risk assessment for precision prevention and intervention. Other examples of genomic-based novel biomarkers will also be discussed. Furthermore, no biomarkers can be used alone therefore their integrated usage with other biomarkers and with personal data bases will be discussed.
