| Timing of Loss | "Indeed, we found that the second stop codon mutation is shared between all three river dolphin species (fig. 1A). The presence of the same mutation in independently sequenced and assembled genomes makes it extremely unlikely that this mutation is a base error. Instead, this shared mutation strongly indicates that TLR5 was already lost in the common ancestor of the three river dolphin species." | 10.1093/molbev/msaa058 |
