Common and unique strategies of myoglobin evolution for deep-sea adaptation of diving mammals
Summary: Myoglobin (Mb) is highly concentrated in the myocytes of diving mammals such as whales and seals, in comparison with land animals, and its molecular evolution has played a crucial role in their deep-sea adaptation. We previously resurrected ancestral whale Mbs and demonstrated the evolution...
