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.

This three dimensional packing of DNA is crucial for gene regulation and for the DNA to fit into the cells because the total length of cellular DNA in cells is up to a hundred thousand times the cell’s length. iv) Highly repetitive regions contain some of the highest mutation rates.
