(Submitter supplied) Whole blood was collected as part of annual health assessments of beluga whales from the healthy Bristol Bay, Alaska stock during 2012-2014. Gene expression from 24 animals (8 from each year) was analyzed to establish baseline information on the content and variation of the beluga whale blood transcriptome.

(Submitter supplied) Whole blood was collected as part of monthly veterinary checkups of bottlenose dolphins housed at Dolphing Quest in Waikoloa, Hawaii, USA. Gene expression from 5 samples was analyzed for comparison to the blood transcriptome of the beluga whale.

(Submitter supplied) Four captive bottlenose dolpins housed in Kona, Hawaii, were serially sampled at approximately monthly intervals over the course of one year, in order to establish baseline information on the content and variation of the dolphin blood transcriptome.

(Submitter supplied) As apex predators, cetaceans are recognized as sentinels for the health of marine ecosystems. The ability to identify the impacts of anthropogenic contamination on the health of a species requires long term monitoring to establish baseline health parameters. This makes health measurements that can be sampled from free ranging animals highly desirable. In the current study, we investigate the utility of skin gene expression profiling to monitor the physiological, health, and contaminant exposure status in bottlenose dolphins. more...
