Nutrigenomics is a new scientific discipline that uses modern genomics technology to study the relationship between genes, nutrition and health. It has long been apparent that some people respond differently from others to certain foods.
DEFINITION of 'Genomics'. The study of the genome, which is the complete set of the genetic material or DNA present in an organism. Genomics studies all genes and their inter relationships in an organism, so as to identify their combined influence on its growth and development. The field of genomics attracted worldwide attention in the late 1990s with the race to map the human genome. The Human Genome Project (HGP), completed in April 2003, made available for the first time the complete genetic blueprint of a human being.
