How Do Genomics and Epigenomics Impact Toxicology?
Genomic and epigenomic information can significantly impact toxicology by providing insights into how different individuals or populations may respond to toxic exposures. Genomic data can reveal genetic polymorphisms that affect the metabolism of toxins, leading to variations in toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. Epigenomics can show how gene expression changes in response to environmental exposures, potentially leading to adverse health effects.
