DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c89533) has announced the addition of "Molecular Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases" to their offering.
With the sequencing of the human genome and the mapping of millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms, epidemiology has moved into the molecular domain. Scientists can now use molecular markers to track disease-associated genes in populations, enabling them to study complex chronic diseases that might result from the weak interactions of many genes with the environment. Use of these laboratory generated biomarker data and an understanding of disease mechanisms are increasingly important in ...
