What are Some Examples of Omics Studies in Epidemiology?
Several epidemiological studies have successfully integrated omics technologies to gain new insights:
Framingham Heart Study: This long-term study has incorporated genomics to identify genetic variants associated with cardiovascular disease. EPIC Study: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study uses metabolomics to investigate the relationship between diet, lifestyle, and cancer risk. UK Biobank: This large-scale cohort study integrates multiple omics data types to understand the genetic and environmental determinants of various diseases.
