| Functional | "This gene is involved in the oxidation of the short chain fatty acid butyrate (79)." | 10.1126/sciadv.aaw6671 |
| Phenotypic | "Cetaceans also lost ACSM3 (fig. S21 and table S2), a gene involved in oxidation of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, but it is not clear whether this loss relates to their carbohydrate-poor diet." | 10.1126/sciadv.aaw6671 |
