<i>Amylase</i> copy number analysis in several mammalian lineages reveals convergent adaptive bursts shaped by diet

2018-06-05

Abstract excerpt

The amylase gene ( AMY ), which codes for a starch-digesting enzyme in animals, underwent several gene copy number gains in humans 1 , dogs 2 , and mice 3 , presumably along with increased starch consumption during the evolution of these species. Here we present evidence for additional AMY copy number expansions in several mammalian species, most of which also consume starch-rich diets. We also show that thes...
