title: [Prospects on the application of toxicogenomics in assessing the safety of chemical compounds].
abstract: Toxicogenomics has been developing with the rapid advances in Human Genome Project in recent two years. The categories and specialty of tox-gene; the application of tox-gene microarray in safety assessment, analysis of gene mutation and gene polymorphism, extrapolation of animal tests results, clarification of mechanism and safety assessment of mixtures; some problems of toxicogenomics need to be solved in spite of its great prospective application.
