How Are Epigenetic Studies Conducted in Toxicology?
Epigenetic studies in toxicology typically involve the use of various analytical techniques to measure changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNA expression. These studies often use animal models, cell cultures, and human epidemiological data to understand the effects of toxicants. Advances in technologies such as next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics have greatly enhanced the ability to conduct comprehensive epigenetic analyses.
