Evolution of ion channels in cetaceans: A natural experiment in the tree of life

C. Uribe, M. Nery, K. Zavala, G. Mardones, G. Riadi, J. Opazo

This study examines ion channel evolution in cetaceans, finding fewer genes and more annotated channels, positive selection in key channels, and a higher gene turnover rate compared to non-cetacean mammals.
