"#tomcod were doing remarkably well in the Hudson's #PCB-infested waters. Their livers had the highest levels of #PCBs known in nature, yet they were alive... it turns out the molecular mechanism was in a single gene... the special mutant population had receptors that didn't bind to PCBs as well... This was lightning-fast #evolution, and it created a population of #fish that are unique to #NewYork."
