Type Excerpt DOI
Mutation Description "Thus, we collected the genomic regions between neighboring Pmp2 and Fabp4 and fully or partially reconstructed Fabp9 in all analyzed species, revealing a conserved noncanonical donor splice site in exon 1 (GT>GA) (fig. 2D); this mutation was further validated by SRA searches (supplementary material 2, Supplementary Material online)." 10.1093/molbev/msz068

Curator Observations
