| Summary: | Toxicogenomics is a new multidisciplinary field concerned with elucidating how the entire genome is involved in biological responses of organisms exposed to environmental toxicants and stressors. Toxicogenomics combines information from studies of genomic-scale mRNA profiling by microarray analysis, cell-wide or tissue-wide protein profiling (proteomics), genetic susceptibility related to single nucleotide polymorphism, and computational models to understand the roles of gene-environment interactions. This book makes a valuable addition to the laboratory bookshelf of all scientists and practitioners studying toxicology, environmental science, drug development, and pharmaceutical safety. As toxicogenomics makes a revolutionary impact on environmental health, drug safety, and risk assessment in 21st-century toxicology, this volume serves as an essential sourcebook. |
