Abstract

Genomic sequence information and gene and protein expression patterns must be linked with information about diet and metabolism, lifestyle behaviors, diseases and medications, and microbial, chemical, and physical exposures. These linkages depend upon the public health sciences: epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health sciences, pathobiology, health sciences research, and clinical prevention trials.
