Mutation Description "Regarding F. damarensis manual gene annotation revealed a 489 bp insertion in exon 2 followed by a premature stop codon. While SRA searches confirmed the presence of a polymorphic remature stop in exon 2, it did not validate the insertion, being most probably a result of poor genome assembly, thus NEU2 seemingly constitutes a polymorphic pseudogene in this species (Supplementary Material 9)." 10.1038/s41598-020-68106-y
