| Methodology & Validation | "We first identified α-keratin gene repertoires in the cow (Bos taurus) (coverage 7×,Btau_4.6.1) [...] taking all the known α-keratin gene sequences of human as queries using BLASTN and TBLASTN algorithm. [...] [Using the putative α-keratin cow genes as query,] the orthologous α-keratin genes were also scanned from the genome of [marine mammals'] terrestrial relatives, such as sheep (Ovis aries, coverage 142×, Oar_v3.1, NCBI)." | 10.1186/s12983-017-0225-x |
Curator Observations
Authors consider this gene to be a pseudogene, with no further explanation or sequence information provided. As such, the gene loss mechanism is inconclusive.
