How the new taxonomy of disease will support precision medicine. An individual’s information commons contains all available biological knowledge to inform a knowledge network. Validated relationships within the knowledge network that define new diseases or disease subtypes will be incorporated into the new taxonomy of diseases. This taxonomy will lead to more accurate diagnoses, better targeted treatments, and improved outcomes, the 3 of which are the hallmark of precision medicine.
