| Mutation Description |
"In detail, gene sequence examination in Odontoceti showed a non-disruptive insertion of a codon in exon 2 in all species with the exception of Lipotes vexillifer (Yangtze River dolphin)." |

| Mutation Description |
"Next, in exon 3, a conserved premature stop codon was identified in all Odontoceti (Fig. 2b, Supplementary material 2). A frameshift mutation by deletion was identified in all species apart from P. catodon, which in turn shows a frameshift mutation before the identified stop codon (Fig. 2b)." |

| Timing of Loss |
"The conserved mutational pattern observed between Ccl27 Odontoceti and Mysticeti suggests that inactivation occurred in the Cetacea ancestor." |

| Phenotypic |
"Given the key role of CCL27 in the process of skin inflammation, we Ccl27 hypothesized that the coding sequence might be compromised in Cetacea as suggested by the overall skin inflammatory physiology observed in this lineage (Mouton and Botha 2012; Zabka and Romano 2003)." |
