A journey in pursuit of marine genetic toxicology
Understanding organisms responses to contaminants, pollutants, and environment stressors is critical for predicting ecosystem impacts. This is particularly important in light of climate change driving physical changes such as temperature, pH, and transport and spread of contaminants at rates previou...
