Timing of Loss "a conserved premature stop codon in the sixth exon in M. javanica, M. pentadactyla, and P. tricuspis [...] Other mutations, including nucleotide deletions and premature stop codons, were also retrieved, notably a set of mutations conserved within the Manis genus" 10.1007/s00239-023-10118-z
Phenotypic "Ancestral (i.e., Awat1, Awat2, Aadacl3) and independent (i.e., Dgat2l6) pseudogenization events in genes associated with epidermal lipids and sebum production strongly suggest a progressive impairment of the sebum-producing molecular machinery in pangolin lineages." 10.1007/s00239-023-10118-z
