Statements

Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "Several proteases involved in digestion (CPA2, CPA3, CPO) were also lost in cetaceans (fig. 1). In some cases these losses were independent, suggesting convergent evolution driven by trophic level." 10.1093/gbe/evx187
Methodology & Validation "To further ensure that assembly artifacts are not mistaken for gene losses, we used the Trace Archive Nucleotide BLAST to search inside RNA-Seq sets SRX220358, SRX220357, SRX220356, SRX220355, SRX220354, SRX220353, SRX220352, SRX220351 and SRX220350." 10.1093/gbe/evx187

Curator Observations

The authors do not describe the gene loss mechanism but specify that this gene is lost. See supplementary material for more details.
