How Can Advances in Genomic and Metagenomic Technologies Aid in Toxicological Studies?
Advances in genomic and metagenomic technologies have revolutionized the study of microbial ecology in toxicology. These technologies enable comprehensive analysis of microbial communities, including the identification of specific microbial taxa and the functional genes involved in detoxification processes. By providing insights into the microbial diversity and functional potential within contaminated environments, these tools can help optimize bioremediation strategies and improve our understanding of microbial responses to toxicants.
