Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "Epidermal terminal differentiation-associated protein that is normally expressed in the stratum." 10.1016/j.cub.2021.02.057
Mutation Description "The entire coding sequence of the gene is deleted in all cetaceans, but the absence of shared breakpoints in the deletion obscures whether it was lost in the common ancestor of all cetaceans or independently in more than one cetacean clade." 10.1016/j.cub.2021.02.057
Timing of Loss "KPRP and ALOX15, that are independently inactivated in cetaceans and hippos" 10.1016/j.cub.2021.02.057
