FGFgene family characterization provides insights into its adaptive evolution in Carnivora
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) encoded by the FGF gene family can regulate development and physiology in animals. However, their evolutionary characteristics in Carnivora are largely unknown. In this study, we identified 660 sequences of three types of
