Beschreibung:
The Exposome: A Primer is the first book dedicated to exposomics, detailing the purpose and scope of this emerging field of study, its practical applications and how it complements a broad range of disciplines. Genetic causes account for up to a third of all complex diseases. (As genomic approaches improve, this is likely to rise.) Environmental factors also influence human disease but, unlike with genetics, there is no standard or systematic way to measure the influence of environmental exposures. The exposome is an emerging concept that hopes to address this, measuring the effects of life-long environmental exposures on health and how these exposures can influence disease.
1. The exposome: purpose, definition, and scope2. When the genome falls short: limitations of a gene-centric view of health3. Omic-based technologies and their impact on the exposome4. The exposome in environmental health sciences and related disciplines5. Managing and integrating exposome data: maps, models, computation, and systems biology6. An exposome education: university and community-the practical exposome7. Staging the exposome: a vision for international collaboration
