01 According to the National Cancer Society, Nutrigenomics is the study of a person's genes and their interaction with the food consumed by the person. Nutrigenomics is also referred to as "nutritional genomics." The study lays the foundation for the concept of "personalized nutrition." The research field is highly dependent on the recent developments and advancements of the technologies that allow the processing of large amounts of data relating to gene variants. Nutrigenomics aids in examining a person's risk of contracting a disease and the impact of bioactive food components and nutrients on gene expression. Several samples, including blood, buccal swabs, saliva, and others, are used in nutrigenomics testing.Nutrigenomics, which involves the genetic manipulation of crops and animal feed, may also impact the various food chain links. Nutritional genomics investigates the effects of metabolites and dietary components using different omic techniques. Genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, epigenomic, and metagenomic technologies are examples of omic technologies. The concept of nutrigenomics was explored to build future tools for personalized nutrition, health maintenance, and disease prevention.
