Type Excerpt DOI
Mutation Description "More specifically, two stop codons were found in exon 2, PDRX and LNPX (both validated in SRA data, see Supplementary Material 8), with the first being shared by O. orca, T. truncatus and D. leucas, and the second being also present in the latter 3 species plus in L. vexillifer and P. catadon. ORF disrupting mutations were also identified in the Mysticeti species B. acutorostrata and B. mysticetus, which were also validated using independent SRA data (Supplementary Material 8)." 10.1038/s41598-020-68106-y
