Mutation Description "In Mysticeti, we were able to deduce the presence of relics of exon 1, yet presenting potentially disruptive mutations (Figure 4).For instance, in P. catodon, a 19-nucleotide deletion in exon 1 was found and validated by SRAs (Figures S11 and S12)." 10.3390/genes10020121
Phenotypic "In fact, deletion of both Mtnr1a and Mtnr1a in mice suggested a cooperative role in the regulation of sleep/wake cycles, notably through the increase in wakefulness [11]." 10.3390/genes10020121
