Abstract excerpt
Ongoing human and environmental genome programs have generated a tremendous amount of information regarding the genetic basis for human disease. The information can be used to enhance existing bioassays, as well as to develop new bioassays for improving human monitoring with the goal of disease prevention. In this review, some biomarkers that can be used for the purpose are presented, with an emphasis on using...
