The OXT gene was conserved across equids, with no variation in the amino acid sequence.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Comparative genomic analyses of OXT and OXTR coding sequences were performed across equid species using available genome assemblies and newly generated sequences obtained by next-generation sequencing.
In this study, Oxytocin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Oxytocin.
