What are the Applications of Genomics in Epidemiology?
There are several key applications of genomics in epidemiology:
Pathogen Genomics: Identifying and characterizing infectious agents at the genetic level. Genetic Epidemiology: Studying the role of genetic factors in health and disease. Pharmacogenomics: Understanding how genetic variation affects individual responses to drugs. Cancer Genomics: Investigating genetic mutations and alterations associated with cancer. Population Genomics: Examining genetic diversity and its implications for disease susceptibility and resistance in different populations.
