摘要: Knowledge of the human genome has great potential for health. It may help us understand origins diseases and tackle these more precisely by using medicines that work at DNA level. This also nutritional sciences potential. For decades now epidemiologists have tried to find links between health food. Research level reveal relation two. could track prevent them. prove healthy influence nutrients. However, this is overshadowed enormous complexities surrounding possible applications genomics nutrigenomics.
