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.

Why a recent advancement is a giant leap for human genomics

Drug Discovery World

Nanopore sequencing relies on determination of the chemical composition of the nucleic acids by passing a single strand of nucleic acids through a protein nanopore 6. In turn, this will aid our understanding of the cells capacity to silence harmful DNA elements or prevent inappropriate gene expression.
