Gene duplications and gene loss in the epidermal differentiation complex during the evolutionary land-to-water transition of cetaceans

Abstract Major protein components of the mammalian skin barrier are encoded by genes clustered in the Epidermal Differentiation Complex (EDC). The skin of cetaceans, i.e. whales, porpoises and dolphins, differs histologically from that of terrestrial mammals. However, the genetic regulation of their...
