At the intersection of genetics and environmental science, environmental genetics is a fascinating and developing field. It focuses on comprehending how an organism's genetic makeup and its environment interact to influence health, development, and behavior. The effects of environmental exposures on gene expression, genetic variation, and the incidence of genetic diseases are the subjects of this research.
Both casual and non-casual mechanisms can lead to correlations between genes and their environments. Through behavior, genetic variants influence environmental exposure indirectly. A complex interaction between an individual's genetic make-up and environmental factors is the cause of nearly all diseases.
