The Ozzy Osbourne genome is the target of a 27,000-euromapping procedure, making the rocker one of the few people in history to have the process done on them.
Scientists from the US company 'Knome' have chosen the Ozzy Osbourne genome because they feel his continued survival after decades of legendary drug and alcohol abuse might shed some light on how the human body adapts to drugs, and why some people like Ozzy Osbourne are more resistant to their negative long-term effects.
If they've already chosen Ozzy Osbourne, however, it definitely can't be long until Keith Richards gets the call as well.

Trend Themes
1. Genome Mapping for Drug Resistance - The Ozzy Osbourne genome mapping presents an opportunity to study individuals that are more resistant to the negative long-term effects of drug and alcohol abuse.
2. Celebrity Health Research - The mapping procedure offers insights into the genetic factors that enable celebrities to survive decades of legendary drug and alcohol abuse.
3. Personalized Medicine - Genome mapping and analysis presents an opportunity for personalized medicine that takes an individual's genetic makeup into account when treating them.
Industry Implications
1. Pharmaceuticals - The pharmaceutical industry can benefit from genome mapping research as they can develop drugs that are better suited to individuals with specific genetic traits.
2. Biotech - Biotech companies can use genome mapping and analysis to identify genetic markers that influence resistance to drugs and alcohol abuse.
3. Healthcare - Healthcare providers can use genome mapping and analysis to provide personalized treatment based on an individual's genetic makeup.
