Abstract
The symposium "The New Era Shaped by Environmental Genome Monitoring," held in December 2024 by the Japanese Environmental Mutagen and Genome Society (JEMS), aimed to explore the interdisciplinary collaborations that are essential for the development of new scopes in environmental genome monitoring. This event highlighted the necessity of integrating mutagenicity research with ecological assessments to enhance public health and biodiversity conservation. Presentations focused on the evolving landscape of environmental genomics, including metagenomic analyses for antibiotic resistance, viral genomic surveillance in wastewater, and innovations in noninvasive biodiversity and stress monitoring through environmental DNA and RNA. This report summarizes the key discussions and presentations from the symposium, underscoring the critical role of environmental genome monitoring in shaping future safety research.
期刊介绍:
Genes and Environment is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that aims to accelerate communications among global scientists working in the field of genes and environment. The journal publishes articles across a broad range of topics including environmental mutagenesis and carcinogenesis, environmental genomics and epigenetics, molecular epidemiology, genetic toxicology and regulatory sciences.
Topics published in the journal include, but are not limited to, mutagenesis and anti-mutagenesis in bacteria; genotoxicity in mammalian somatic cells; genotoxicity in germ cells; replication and repair; DNA damage; metabolic activation and inactivation; water and air pollution; ROS, NO and photoactivation; pharmaceuticals and anticancer agents; radiation; endocrine disrupters; indirect mutagenesis; threshold; new techniques for environmental mutagenesis studies; DNA methylation (enzymatic); structure activity relationship; chemoprevention of cancer; regulatory science. Genetic toxicology including risk evaluation for human health, validation studies on testing methods and subjects of guidelines for regulation of chemicals are also within its scope.
