| Mutation Description | "Finally, in B. mysticetus the deletion of exon 2, which encodes for a transmembrane region, is predicted to significantly alter protein conformation and function. Identified mutations were validated by SRA searches (supplementary material 2, Supplementary Material online)." | 10.1093/molbev/msz068 |
| Timing of Loss | "In contrast, the mutational events identified in Awat2 did not allow definite validation of pseudogenization in Cetacea." | 10.1093/molbev/msz068 |
