Genomic technologies show great potential for classifying disease states and toxicological
impacts from exposure to chemicals into functional categories. In environmental monitoring …

Ecotoxicogenomic approaches are emerging as alternative methods in environmental
monitoring because they allow insight into pollutant modes of action and help assess the …

Toxicogenomics has provided innovative approaches to chemical screening, risk
assessment, and predictive toxicology. If applied to ecotoxicology, genomics tools could …

Ecotoxicogenomic approaches to environmental monitoring provide holistic information,
offer insight into modes of action, and help to assess the causal agents and potential toxicity …

Background Genomic research tools such as microarrays are proving to be important
resources to study the complex regulation of genes that respond to environmental …

Copper pollution is pervasive in aquatic habitats and is particularly harmful to invertebrates
sensitive to environmental changes such as Daphnia pulex. Mechanisms of toxicity and …

Small organisms can be used as biomonitoring tools to assess chemicals in the
environment. Chemical stressors are especially hard to assess and monitor when present as …

Epigenetic mechanisms are moving to the forefront of environmental sciences, as
environmentally induced epigenetic changes shape biological responses to chemical …

Toxic metals polluting aquatic ecosystems are taken up by inhabitants and accumulate in
the food web, affecting species at all trophic levels. It is therefore important to have good …

DNA microarrays can be used to measure environmental stress responses. If they are to be
predictive of environmental impact, we need to determine if altered gene expression …
