Convergent genomic signatures of flight loss in birds suggest a switch of main fuel

Convergent genomic signatures of flight loss in birds suggest a switch of main fuel

Flight loss has occurred numerous times in bird evolution. Here, the authors examine convergent sites in the exonic and intronic sequences of 48 bird genomes, finding amino-acid changes in two genes, ATGL and ACOT7, with potential implications for a change in metabolism rather than anatomy.
