| Mutation Description | "Regarding Aanat, these included an absent start codon and a canonical splice site mutation in exon 3, whereas in Asmt, a premature stop codon was identified in exon 5." | 10.3390/genes10020121 |
| Phenotypic | "Convergent disruption of this set of genes was also observed in T. manatus latirostris. These evidence support the anatomical observations that the pineal gland is absent or vestigial and that classical melatonin-based circadian rhythmicity is lacking in fully aquatic species [16,17]." | 10.3390/genes10020121 |
