Nutrigenomics is the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. In part, the success of the Human Genome Project has also paved a path for the novel concept of nutrigenomics. Nutrigenomics tests are capable of determining the influence of genes on nutrient requirements and metabolism.

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The tool could also prove to be safer than conventional CRISPR-based gene therapies as it does not involve DNA editing, and thus would not cause potentially harmful off-target genomic changes.
