""Lopes-Marques et al. reported the convergent loss of both AWAT1 and MOGAT3 in Cetacea and Hippopotamus amphibius. However, our investigation suggests that MOGAT3 underwent a tandem duplication, most likely in the common ancestor of the two extant hippopotamids (Figure 4), and whereas one copy is pseudogenized, a functional copy of MOGAT3 is present 15.7 kb upstream (NCBI contig PVJP02910399)."" |
