Nutrigenomics is the study of how genetic variation affects the interaction between diet and health, with the goal of improving health through tailored diets and lifestyles. It analyzes how foods and their components influence genes, while nutrigenetics focuses on genetic variants that result in different responses to nutrients. Advances in molecular biology now enable analyzing these interactions through transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics. While nutrigenomic testing promises personalized nutrition, concerns remain regarding its effectiveness and implications.

12. Nutrigenomics can be used as : • mechanisms underlying the beneficial or adverse effects of nutrient or diet • identify important genes, proteins or metabolites , act as molecular biomarkers • identify and characterize pathways of gene regulation.

13. Advances in molecular biology have made it possible for nutrition to undergo a revolution.
