| Functional | "Suprabasal epidermis keratin" | 10.1016/j.cub.2021.02.057 |
| Mutation Description | "The deletion in odontocetes lacks shared breakpoints that occur in all odontocetes. It is unclear if 719D occurred in the common ancestor of Mysticeti or in the common ancestor of Cetacea with subsequent deletion of the entire gene in odontocetes." | 10.1016/j.cub.2021.02.057 |
| Other | ""Three additional genes are inactivated in all cetaceans but are completely absent from either odontocetes (KRT2 and KRT77) or mysticetes (KRT26)."" | 10.1016/j.cub.2021.02.057 |
