Understanding how the environments we are exposed to influence the diseases we contract and the severity of those diseases is a major goal of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). Although much effort has focused on the gene-environment axis, there is a growing body of information that suggests that environmental influences may extend beyond the DNA sequences of our genes. The recent completion of sequencing projects for the genomes of humans and several ...
