The marketing and folk pharmaceutical medicines are very complicate in Taiwan. To assume the original of these pharmaceutical medicines, the quality control and identification standard will be the most important issue. They include the plant origin and chemical ingredients. But most important is to identify the genomic profiles of these pharmaceutical medicines in the post-genomic era. The researchers used genomic polymorphism to identify the plant in genus, species, variety even in strain and clone. In the recent years, the pattern plant was according to the ribosomal RNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and intergenic spacers (IGS) to be one of the identification profiles. In our studies, there are only 32% of ITS profiles be publish to Genbank in the "Taiwan traditional medicine". It will be the first priority to complete the database of this genomic information for public healthy. In first year, we will identify the confused and mistake and the most popular pharmaceutical medicines in market, and construct the web page of the genomic database. In second and third year, the complete of these genomic profiles will be the major issue in the genomic database.
