What are the applications of Nanotechnology in Genomics?
Gene Sequencing:Nanopore sequencing technologies have revolutionized the speed and accuracy of gene sequencing. These nanodevices read DNA sequences by pulling strands through tiny pores and detecting changes in electrical current. Targeted Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver drugs directly to specific cells or tissues, minimizing side effects and increasing treatment efficacy. This has significant implications for treating genetic disorders identified through the HGP. Gene Therapy: Nanocarriers can transport therapeutic genes directly to targeted cells, offering precision in gene therapy applications.
