Nutritional Genomics: The Impact of Dietary Regulation of Gene Function on Human Disease

by Wayne R. Bidlack (Editor), Raymond L. Rodriguez (Editor)

Overview

The notion of matching diet with an individual's genetic makeup is transforming the way the public views nutrition as a means of managing health and preventing disease. To fulfill the promise of nutritional genomics, researchers are beginning to reconcile the diverse properties of dietary factors with our current knowledge of genome structure and g
