Title:

Comparative genomics analyses of alpha-keratins reveal insights into evolutionary adaptation of marine mammals.

Abstract:

Diversity of hair in marine mammals was suggested as an evolutionary innovation to adapt aquatic environment, yet its genetic basis remained poorly explored. We scanned α-keratin genes, one major structural components of hair, in 16 genomes of mammalian species, including seven cetaceans, two pinnipeds, polar bear, manatee and five terrestrial species.
