Hearing loss genes reveal patterns of adaptive evolution at the coding and non-coding levels in mammals
Abstract Background Mammals possess unique hearing capacities that differ significantly from those of the rest of the amniotes. In order to gain insights into the evolution of the mammalian inner ear, we aim to identify the set of genetic changes and the evolutionary forces that underlie this proces...
