Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (MCPH1) in cetaceans
BACKGROUND: Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in cetaceans. RESULTS: We sequenced ~1240 basepai...
