Despite the many recent advances in the field of epigenetics, application of this knowledge in environmental health risk assessment has been limited. In this paper, we identify opportunities for application of epigenetic data to support health risk assessment. We consider current applications and present a vision for the future.
尽管表观遗传学领域最近取得了许多进展,但这一知识在环境健康风险评估中的应用一直有限。在本文中,我们确定了应用表观遗传数据以支持健康风险评估的机会。我们考虑了当前的应用情况并提出了对未来的展望。
