What Is the Importance of Epigenomics in Toxicology Research?
Epigenomics, the study of the complete set of epigenetic modifications on the genetic material of a cell, is increasingly important in toxicology research. It provides insights into how environmental exposures can lead to epigenetic alterations that contribute to disease development. By mapping these changes across the genome, researchers can identify biomarkers for exposure and disease, improve risk assessment, and develop strategies for prevention and intervention.
