Horses, donkeys and zebras have adaptations that break normal genomic rules

89% Informative
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Vanderbilt University have identified a rare instance of genetic recoding that enhances oxygen metabolism and energy production in horses, donkeys, and zebras.
The findings provide insight into the genetic foundation of exceptional equine athletic ability.
Few mammals match horses in aerobic performance.
The presence of the mutation in all modern equine species suggests it emerged early in the lineage.
It may have allowed for increased aerobic performance, shaping the evolution of speed and endurance traits, researchers say.
Roughly one in 10 human genetic disorders results from premature stop codons.
