Flawed evidence for convergent evolution of the circadian CLOCK gene in mole-rats
Abstract
Convergently evolved mole-rats (Mammalia, Rodentia) provide a fascinating model for studying convergent molecular evolution. Three genome sequences have recently been made available for the blind mole-rat ( Nannospalax galili ; Spalacidae; Muroidea) 1 , and the convergently evolved naked mole-rat ( Heterocephalus glaber ; Heterocephalidae; Ctenohystrica) 2 and its close relative the Damaraland mole-rat ( Fukomys damarensis ; Bathyergidae; …
