What are the Key Techniques Used in Toxicogenomics?
Some of the key techniques employed in toxicogenomics include:
Gene expression profiling: This involves measuring the activity of thousands of genes at once to understand how they respond to toxic exposures. Next-generation sequencing (NGS): This technology sequences entire genomes or specific regions to identify genetic mutations and variations associated with cancer risk. Bioinformatics: Sophisticated computational tools analyze large datasets to identify patterns and correlations between genetic data and toxic exposure.
