Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "In mammals, Mtnr1a and Mtnr1b receptors are involved in the response of the clock machinery to melatonin stimulation (Reppart et al. 1996)." 10.1007/s00239-021-10025-1
Mutation Description "Examples of conserved inactivating mutations were found in bears (Ursus sp.) with an in-frame premature stop codon in exon 1, weasels (Mustela sp.) sharing several indels in exon 2 and pangolins with a single nucleotide deletion and an in frame premature stop codon in exon 1 (Online Resources 4 and 13)." 10.1007/s00239-021-10025-1
Methodology & Validation "Mutational validation was performed through retrieval of raw sequencing reads in (at least) two independent Sequence Read Archive (SRA) projects (when available)." 10.1007/s00239-021-10025-1
