| Mutation Description | "Subsequent annotation of the collected genomic sequences revealed a trans-species conserved premature stop codon in exon 3, further validated by SRA searches (fig. 2C and supplementary material 2, Supplementary Material online). These results constitute a strong indication that Elovl3 is inactive in the analyzed species." | 10.1093/molbev/msz068 |
| Timing of Loss | "Interestingly, the mutational pattern deduced in Dgat2l6, Mogat3, Awat1, Elovl3, and Fabp9 allowed the identification of conserved founding mutations common to all analyzed Cetacea (fig. 4). The sharing of mutations constitutes a strong indication of common pseudogenization events prior to the diversification of modern Cetacea lineages." | 10.1093/molbev/msz068 |
