Convergence and divergence in gene expression among natural populations exposed to pollution.

BMC genomics - 25 Apr 2007

Fisher Marla A, Oleksiak Marjorie F

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Natural populations of the teleost fish Fundulus heteroclitus tolerate a broad range of environmental conditions including temperature, salinity, hypoxia and chemical pollutants. Strikingly, populations of Fundulus inhabit and have adapted to highly polluted Superfund sites that are contaminated with persistent toxic chemicals. These natural populations provide a foundation to discover critical gene...
