What is the significance of toxicogenomics in data science?
Toxicogenomics, the study of how genes respond to toxic substances, is significantly enhanced by data science. By analyzing genomic data, toxicologists can identify genomic biomarkers that indicate exposure to toxicants and assess the genetic basis of susceptibility to toxins. Data science tools enable the handling of high-throughput genomic data, facilitating the discovery of gene-expression patterns associated with toxicological effects.
