Loss of critical developmental and human disease-causing genes in 58 mammals

2019-10-25

Abstract excerpt

Gene losses provide an insightful route for studying the morphological and physiological adaptations of species, but their discovery is challenging. Existing genome annotation tools and protein databases focus on annotating intact genes and do not attempt to distinguish nonfunctional genes from genes missing annotation due to sequencing and assembly artifacts. Previous attempts to annotate gene losses have require...
