Timing of Loss "As shown in figure 1A, both stop codons and the 2 bp deletion are shared between all three guinea pig species. Additionally, the large deletion that removes most of the TLR5 coding exon has the same breakpoints in all three guinea pig species (fig. 1B), which makes an assembly error highly unlikely and suggests that this deletion already occurred in their common ancestor." 10.1093/molbev/msaa058
