Molecular evolution of echolocation genes in cetaceans and bats

This study aims to understand the molecular evolution of hearing genes associated with echolocation in dolphins and bats. The convergence between these groups suggests that TMC1 gene is central to the evolution of echolocation and a case of convergence occurring on a molecular level.
