Genomic evidence for the parallel regression of melatonin synthesis and signaling pathways in placental mammals [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Background: The study of regressive evolution has yielded a wealth of examples where the underlying genes bear molecular signatures of trait degradation, such as pseudogenization or deletion. Typically, it appears that such disrupted genes are limited to the function of the regressed trait, whereas...
