"Here we chose PKD2L1 to investigate whether cetaceans retained the sour taste modality, because mice lacking the Pkd2l1 gene have reduced sour taste ability and some people who are sour-ageusic also showed loss of the Pkd2l1 gene [38,39]." |

| Mutation Description |
"Based on sequence alignments against cow (Bos taurus) homologues, we identified multiple ORF-disrupting indels and premature stop codons in Tas1r1, Tas1r2, Pkd2l1 and in ten Tas2rs scattered among cetacean branches." |

| Mutation Description |
"For PKD2L1, the sole candidate sour taste receptor, we found two premature stop codons shared by all toothed whales, excluding the Dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima) and a premature TGA stop codon shared by all cetaceans except for the baiji (Additional file 3: Figure S1)." |
