Due to accessibility skin and dermatology were among the earliest fields using microarray studies. Noninvasive skin sampling targeted melanoma, carcinoma, wound-healing, etc. Most advanced skinomics studies addressed psoriasis. A large international GWAS effort identified many of the psoriasis susceptibility loci in the human genome. Several large cohorts of more than 100 individuals provided samples of psoriatic lesional and nonlesional skin making possible deep metaanalysis of gene expression in psoriasis. Recently, human skin microbiome in health and diseases has become the focus of extensive studies. These advancements place skinomics at the forefront of medical bioinformatics.
