Statements

Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "Overall, our results indicate the full dismantling of key energy-producing pathways in Odontoceti, including glycolysis, pyruvate and lactate production, mitochondrial pyruvate uptake and conversion to acetyl-CoA, and mitochondrial ketone body catabolism in the sperm cell." 10.1016/j.cub.2021.05.062
Mutation Description "Multiple sequence alignment of the coding sequences for Bos taurus (cow), Mysticeti (baleen whales), and Odontoceti (toothed whales) emphasize the presence of disruptive mutations or exon loss (Ldhc, white rectangles; see also Figure S1 and Tables S2 and S3; figshare link in Key resources table)." 10.1016/j.cub.2021.05.062
