What Role Does Genomics Play in Modern Toxicology?
Genomics has become a critical tool in toxicology, allowing researchers to understand how genetic variations affect an individual's response to toxic substances. The field of Toxicogenomics combines toxicology and genomics to study the effects of chemicals on gene expression and how these changes relate to toxicity outcomes. This approach helps in identifying biomarkers for early detection of toxic effects and understanding the mechanisms of action at a molecular level.
