research Analysis of the FGF gene family provides insights into aquatic adaptation in cetaceans
Whale genes show changes that help them live in water, like less hair and better flippers.
research Comparative genomics analyses of alpha-keratins reveal insights into evolutionary adaptation of marine mammals
Marine mammals lost many α-keratin genes, aiding their adaptation to aquatic life by becoming hairless.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research Fibromodulin-Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors during Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing
Mice lacking fibromodulin have disrupted healing patterns, leading to abnormal skin repair and scarring.
research Characterization and causal investigations of an alopecia syndrome in Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus)
Young female Australian fur seals are losing hair due to low tyrosine and zinc levels and high pollution exposure.
research CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Disruption of Fibroblast Growth Factor 5 in Rabbits Results in a Systemic Long Hair Phenotype by Prolonging Anagen
Disrupting the FGF5 gene in rabbits leads to longer hair by extending the hair growth phase.
research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairless mammals have genetic changes in both their protein-coding and regulatory sequences related to hair.

Anesthetizing walruses is difficult and risky due to their size and sudden health changes.
research Low Heterozygosity and Historical Bottleneck Effect Depicted From the Genome Assembly of the Indus River Dolphin (Platanista minor )
The Indus River dolphin has low genetic diversity due to a past bottleneck and human impact.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
