Selection on different genes with equivalent functions: the convergence story told by Hox genes along the evolution of aquatic mammalian lineages
BACKGROUND: Convergent evolution has been a challenging topic for decades, being cetaceans, pinnipeds and sirenians textbook examples of three independent origins of equivalent phenotypes. These mammalian lineages acquired similar anatomical features correlated to an aquatic life, and remarkably dif...
