Mammalian phylogeny studied by sequence analysis of the eye lens protein a-crystallin.
Zs. Säugetierk. 47(5): 257-276. 2 tabs. 5 figs. Oct. 1982.
–Sequences of a-crystallin A indicate that paenungulates (Proboscidea, Hyracoidea, and Sirenia) are monophyletic and include the Tubulidentata, and are, together with the edentates, the oldest eutherian offshoots. The sir. data are based on 6 eye lenses of T. inunguis.
