Mutation Description "Because of shared synteny and best reciprocal similarity scores, this gene was identified as ortholog of LCE7A which was previously identified in sheep34. Comparative genomics showed that LCE7A is conserved in the blue whale (Supplementary Table S5), the beluga whale and phylogenetically diverse mammals including humans (Fig. 4A)." 10.1038/s41598-021-91863-3
Methodology & Validation "EDC genes of cetaceans were identified by comparative analysis of the region between S100A9 and S100A11 genes in the genomes of cetaceans (Supplementary Tables S2– S5; Supplementary Fig. S1–S3). " 10.1038/s41598-021-91863-3
Other "(…) only a single LCE gene was identified in dolphin and porpoise and no LCE is present in the EDC of the minke whale (Fig. 1)." 10.1038/s41598-021-91863-3
