Our paper on how genes lost during the transition from land to water in whales/dolphins were probably involved in aquatic adaptations is accepted @ScienceAdvances. Great work from Matthias Huelsmann et al. @mpicbg https://t.co/A7tgXQKClC

What people are saying
The discussions refer to the critical findings of the article, like the mention of specific genes associated with cetacean adaptations. Phrases such as 'beneficial gene losses' and references to specific genes hint at a thoughtful engagement with the material. The tone varies, reflecting excitement for the implications of the research as well as a more academic curiosity demonstrated by users citing past papers and studies, indicating a mix of enthusiasm and critical insight into the topic.
Most posts show some support for the findings, but a few indicate skepticism or question aspects of the research.
There is a high level of curiosity in discussions about the study's implications and findings.
While many posts share the article or basic insights, a few delve into details that suggest deeper engagement.
The publication is perceived to have a substantial impact on understanding cetacean evolution and genetics.
Abstract in brief
- The study identified 85 protein-coding genes that were lost in the ancestral lineage of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) during their evolution from land to water.
- Some gene losses may have offered advantages for aquatic life, such as reduced thrombus formation and better management of lung inflammation.
- Other lost genes likely contributed to specific adaptations for diving, including enhanced vasoconstriction, changes in pulmonary surfactant, and the evolution of unihemispheric sleep.

Most liked on X and Bluesky@JSheltzer Neat. Also relevant is the fact that cetaceans lack the error-prone DNA repair polymerase Pol mu, thus certain lesions get channeled to a greater degree to Pol lambda as shown in the amazing 2019 paper here: https://t.co/EcTg5vmOO6
