The functioning of certain regions of a few genes in cetaceans (whales, porpoises and dolphins) may explain why the Blue whale ( Balaenoptera musculus ) can reach lengths of up to 30 meters – almost 10 m more than a bus – while the Bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) is 4 m long at most. It can also help toward the development of new cancer treatments.
This is the subject of an article published in the journal BMC Ecology and Evolution by a group of researchers at the State [...]

Studie über Gigantismus bei Walen liefert Hinweise auf genomische Mechanismen bei der Tumorunterdrückung
ie Funktionsweise bestimmter Regionen einiger Gene bei Walen, Schweinswalen und Delfinen könnte erklären, warum der Blauwal (Balaenoptera musculus) bis zu 30 Meter lang werden kann - fast 10 Meter mehr als ein Bus -, während der Große Tümmler (Tursiops truncatus) höchstens 4 Meter lang ist. Er kann auch zur Entwicklung neuer [...]

Algunas especies de cetáceos no superan los 4 metros de largo, en tanto que otras pueden llegar a los 30 metros. Según lo científicos, los genes que favorecen el crecimiento colosal de estos mamíferos también inhiben el surgimiento del cáncer.
El funcionamiento de ciertas áreas de algunos pocos genes de los cetáceos puede explicar por qué la ballena azul (Balaenoptera musculus) puede llegar a medir 30 metros de longitud –es [...]

クジラ類（クジラ目）に属する海洋生物の体の大きさはバラエティに富んでいる。世界最大のクジラが体長体長30mにもなる一方で、ハンドウイルカはせいぜい3.5mくらいだ。
新たな遺伝子研究で、クジラたちの体の大きさがこれほどまでに異なる理由が解明されつつある。「プロモーター領域」という遺伝子のスイッチが関係しているのだという。

The large size variation among cetacean species, including dolphins, whales, and porpoises, is largely explained by the activity of specific gene regions, according to a recent study by scientists from Brazil's University of Campinas Institute of Biology (IB-UNICAMP).
Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus), for example, can grow up to a giant 30 meters (98 feet) long while the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncates) usually doesn't get longer than 3.5 meters. Not only does the new [...]

巴西坎皮納斯大學生物研究所(IB-UNICAMP) 科學家最近的一項研究表明，包括海豚、鯨魚和鼠海豚在內的鯨目動物物種之間的巨大體型差異很大程度上是由特定基因區域的活動造成的。
藍鯨（ 鯨魚 ），例如，可以長到 30 公尺（98 英尺）長，而寬吻海豚（ 斑鳩魚被截斷 ）通常不會超過 3.5 公尺。 這項新研究不僅有助於解釋這些巨大的尺寸差異，還可能推進 癌症 [...]
