Characterization of hairless (Hr) and FGF5 genes provides insights into the molecular basis of hair loss in cetaceans
BACKGROUND: Hair is one of the main distinguishing characteristics of mammals and it has many important biological functions. Cetaceans originated from terrestrial mammals and they have evolved a series of adaptations to aquatic environments, which are of evolutionary significance. However, the mole...
