Sirenian genomes illuminate the evolution of fully aquatic species within the mammalian superorder Afrotheria

2023-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Sirenians of the diverse superorder Afrotheria were the first mammals to retransition from land to water and are the sole herbivorous marine mammals, but little is known about the underlying genomic changes. Here, we generated a chromosome-level dugong ( Dugong dugon ) genome. A comparison of our assembly and a recent West Indian manatee genome with other afrotherian genomes revealed possible molecular solutions...
