| Functional | "Several proteases involved in digestion (CPA2, CPA3, CPO) were also lost in cetaceans (fig. 1). In some cases these losses were independent, suggesting convergent evolution driven by trophic level." | 10.1093/gbe/evx187 |
| Methodology & Validation | "To further ensure that assembly artifacts are not mistaken for gene losses, we used the Trace Archive Nucleotide BLAST to search inside RNA-Seq sets SRX220358, SRX220357, SRX220356, SRX220355, SRX220354, SRX220353, SRX220352, SRX220351 and SRX220350." | 10.1093/gbe/evx187 |
Curator Observations
The authors do not describe the gene loss mechanism but specify that this gene is lost. See supplementary material for more details.
