Comparative analysis of the myoglobin gene in whales and humans reveals evolutionary changes in regulatory elements and expression levels

Cetacea and other diving mammals have undergone numerous adaptations to their aquatic environment, among them high levels of the oxygen-carrying intracellular hemoprotein myoglobin in skeletal muscles. Hypotheses regarding the mechanisms leading to these high myoglobin levels often invoke the induct...
