    September 2014 in “ BMC genomics ”
    Imran Khan, Emanuel Maldonado, Vı́tor Vasconcelos … Agostinho Antunes
    Studysummary This research found that variations in the KRTAP gene family are likely responsible for the diverse hair phenotypes seen among mammals, influenced by gene repertoire differences, expression, and evolutionary factors.
