Type Excerpt DOI
Methodology & Validation "We first identified α-keratin gene repertoires in the cow (Bos taurus) (coverage 7×,Btau_4.6.1) [...] taking all the known α-keratin gene sequences of human as queries using BLASTN and TBLASTN algorithm. [...] [Using the putative α-keratin cow genes as query,] the orthologous α-keratin genes were also scanned from the genome of [marine mammals'] terrestrial relatives, such as [...] alpaca (Vicugna pacos, coverage 22×, Vicugna_pacos-2.0.1, NCBI)." 10.1186/s12983-017-0225-x

Curator Observations

The authors named the keratins according to the human nomenclature. Gene not found in genomic maps-gene deletion (Fig1).
