How has genomics transformed toxicological research?
The advent of genomics has provided toxicologists with a deeper understanding of how genetic variability affects individual responses to toxins. Techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) enable the examination of entire genomes, revealing genetic predispositions to certain toxic effects. Personalized toxicology, where interventions can be tailored based on an individual's genetic makeup, is now a possibility thanks to these advancements.
