What Are the Challenges in Using Gene Expression Data?
Despite its potential, there are challenges in using gene expression data in toxicology. Variability in experimental conditions, differences in individual susceptibility, and the complexity of biological systems can affect the reliability of gene expression studies. Additionally, the interpretation of changes in gene expression requires a deep understanding of biological pathways and networks. Integrating gene expression data with other toxicological endpoints is crucial for making accurate predictions about the effects of toxicants.
