Deepwater Horizon oil spill linked to changes in dolphin gene activity

After the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010, dolphins living in the area had changes in the activity of genes that regulate lung tissue growth and immune system responses

Genetic engineering, conceptual illustration. Robot hand editing a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule to alter and rearrange an organism's genetic material. DNA is composed of two strands twisted into a double helix. Each strand consists of an outer sugar-phosphate backbone with nucleotide bases attached. The sequence of these bases forms the genetic code, determining each cell's structure, function and behaviour. Inserting new DNA into a section of original DNA will alter the instructions from this region.
