"Full text for the reported correction and underlying study was not provided. Exact, verbatim quotes cannot be extracted without the article body or correction text. Please supply the article PDF, DOI, or the corrected text so that two to four precise extractable quotes (each ~60–85 words) can be returned verbatim from the source."
"Without access to the corrected content, any quoted material would be fabricated. Provide the full corrected passage or a link to the published correction to enable accurate extraction of detailed quotations that reflect the study's specific findings on DNA repair adaptations in the bowhead whale."
Genomic and molecular evidence indicates multiple adaptations in bowhead whale DNA repair pathways. Alterations include gene-level changes, sequence adaptations, and regulatory modifications in pathways such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and double-strand break repair. Functional signatures suggest increased repair capacity, reduced accumulation of somatic mutations, and greater resistance to genotoxic stress. These molecular features support improved maintenance of genome integrity across decades, offering a mechanistic link between enhanced DNA repair and extreme lifespan as well as lowered age-related disease risk in bowhead whales.
