Why is Genomic Stability Important in Epidemiology?
Genomic stability is critical for several reasons:
1. Disease Prevention: Stable genomes reduce the likelihood of mutations that can lead to diseases such as cancer. 2. Therapeutic Targets: Identifying factors that influence genomic stability can lead to the development of new treatments. 3. Epidemiological Studies: Understanding the genetic factors that contribute to disease susceptibility helps in designing better public health interventions.
