How Does GenBank Facilitate Research in Toxicology?
GenBank aids toxicological research by offering a vast array of genetic sequences from different organisms, including humans, animals, and bacteria. Researchers can use this data to compare sequences and identify genes that may be involved in toxic responses. For example, studies on how specific genes contribute to drug metabolism can be informed by genetic data from GenBank, leading to better understanding of individual variability in drug response and toxicity.
