Nutrigenomics: The Future of Personalized Nutrition

Roots Analysis

According to a study, around 20,000 genes are present in the human body, all of which interact with the nutrients in the food, either directly or indirectly. For instance, carbohydrates increase the expression of genes responsible for the synthesis of enzymes and transporters involved in their metabolism.

The new sequences contain largely highly repetitive DNA structures such as centromeres, telomeres, acrocentric genomic regions, where massive arrays of tandem repeats predominate, and heterochromatin. In turn, this will aid our understanding of the cells capacity to silence harmful DNA elements or prevent inappropriate gene expression.
