<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> In 2015, Michael Keane, Jeremy Semeiks and several scientists together published a paper in Cell Press Reports about mapping the bowhead whale genome, with the title “Insights into the Evolution of Longevity from the Bowhead Whale Genome”, where they reported the sequencing and comparative analysis of the bowhead whale genomes. In paper, scientists after sequencing, identified positive selected genes and bowhead-specific mutations, and tried to correlate them with aging and cancer. Especially, in that paper more focus were given to DNA repair, cancer, cell –cycle linked gene’s modifications. Moreover, researchers made an available online data on the website (http://www.bowhead-whale.org) for other interested ones to conduct research further within their information.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> My research facilitated from this scientific article, with the aid from their whale genome portal. Close look to the condition and structure of the Bowhead whale might give rewarding solutions to the current issues, related to diseases, against cancers or aging. To be specific, my current focus is on the behavior of the cancer and linking it to the Bowhead whalemetabolism, and findhow whale able to manage the same condition.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The most abundant baleen Minke whale is the closest relative to the Bowhead whale, which diverged from each other only 25-30 million years ago. [3] The catching thing here is that, even though they have around 96% matched protein coding sequences, their characteristic features highly remarkable. </span></span></p>
