| Abstract |
BackgroundWhales have captivated the human imagination for millennia. These incredible cetaceans are the only mammals that have adapted to life in the open oceans and have been a source of human food, fuel and tools around the globe. The transition from land to water has led to various aquatic specializations related to hairless skin and ability to regulate their body temperature in cold water.ResultsWe present four common minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) genomes with depth of¿×13¿~¿×17 coverage and perform resequencing technology without a reference sequence. Our results indicated the time to the most recent common ancestors of common minke whales to be about 2.3574 (95% HPD, 1.1521 ¿ 3.9212) million years ago. Further, we found that genes associated with cytoskeleton and tooth-development showed signatures of positive selection, supporting the morphological uniqueness of whales.ConclusionsThis whole-genome sequencing offers a chance to better understand the evolutionary journey of one of the largest mammals on earth. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 January 2024.
All research outputs
#3,640,774
of 25,120,346 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#1,316
of 11,166 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#50,639
of 363,889 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#35
of 278 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,120,346 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,166 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 363,889 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 278 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
