| Mutation Description |
"In exon 1, a conserved stop codon is present in O. orca and S. chinensis, validated by SRA in the former (Figures S14 and S15); a 1 nucleotide insertion in exon 1, generating a premature stop codon, was also found and validated for B. acutorostrata and E. robustus (Figures S14 and S16); and the absence of start codon was detected in O. orca, T. truncatus, L. obliquidens and S. chinensis, and further validated by SRA in L. obliquidens (Figures S14 and S17). In exon 2, a trans-species deletion of 1 nucleotide was found in all species with an intact exon, and confirmed by SRA in all species with the exception of S. chinensis, shifting the coding frame from this section of the gene (Figures S18and S19). A 282-nucleotide deletion was also identified in E. robustus (Figure S20)." |
