Retention of fatty acyl desaturase 1 (fads1) in Elopomorpha and Cyclostomata provides novel insights into the evolution of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in vertebrates 06 Biological Sciences 0604 Genetics 06 Biological Sciences 0601 Biochemistry and Cell Biology 06 Biological Sciences 0603 Evolutionary Biology

Background: Provision of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in vertebrates occurs through the diet or via endogenous production from C18 precursors through consecutive elongations and desaturations. It has been postulated that the abundance of LC-PUFA in the marine environment has rema...
