Evolutionary genetics of flipper forelimb and hindlimb loss from limb development-related genes in cetaceans

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Linxia Sun from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Evolutionary genetics of flipper forelimb and hindlimb loss from limb development-related genes in cetaceans, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors explored the evolution of 16 and their in and compared them with that of other mammals. In the study , one parallel / convergent amino_acid site was identified in marine mammals at FGF10 that plays a key role in limb development because FGF10-deficient mice results in the absence of both forelimbs and hindlimbs .
  • how: To test whether positive selection restricted to some . . .
