Research progresses on nutrigenomics

Nutrition science is an age-old subject, and offers important theoretic instructions for human health protection and disease prevention. With the development of molecular biology, it will be a key technique in the 21 century. Combination of molecular biology and nutrition, bio-nutrition is formed. While the combination of genome and nutrition, nutrigenomics is developed. Nutrigenomics covers a wide range of areas, which studies the interactive effects between nutrients and genes expression, and predicts the expressive response to the nutrients. Genomics technology can help us to identify some dis-ease-related genes, thereby people establish individual diet and make their heath attained the best status through adjusting diet. This paper focuses on the main research technology of nutrigenomics and its application.
