| Functional | "Regarding taste receptors, no intact genes had not been found in cetacean genomes except for TAS2R16 gene in common minke whale genome [7,8,13], and Feng et al. [12] suggested that several mysticetes possess an intact TAS2R16 gene based on sequencing of partial coding regions." | 10.1186/s40851-014-0002-z |
| Timing of Loss | "We sequenced complete coding regions of TAS2R16 and TAS2R67 genes in several cetartiodactyl species and confirmed that the last common ancestor of odontocetes and mysticetes possessed intact TAS2R16 and TAS2R67 sequences" | 10.1186/s40851-014-0002-z |
