What Are the Challenges of Using Genome Sequencing in Toxicology?
Despite its potential, the integration of genome sequencing in toxicology faces several challenges:
Data Complexity: The amount of data generated is vast, requiring significant computational resources and expertise for interpretation. Ethical Concerns: The use of genetic data raises issues of privacy, consent, and potential misuse. Cost: Although costs have decreased, comprehensive genome sequencing can still be expensive and may not be accessible to all research facilities. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Effective application requires collaboration between geneticists, toxicologists, bioinformaticians, and clinicians.
