Variations of loss of start codon, gain of stop codon, indel, gene conversion, and whole-gene deletion in cTAS2Rs.

aAbbreviations: del., deletion; ins., insertion; LIC, loss of start (initiation) codon; GTC, gain of stop (termination) codon; WGD, whole-gene deletion; GC, gene conversion. There was no variation of loss of stop codon in cTAS2Rs.bThe subspecies of the individual was identified only maternally due to the lack of information about the antecedents in captivity.cThe alleles have an alternative start codon at nucleotide positions 4 to 6, and thus are expected to be functional.dGene conversion with cTAS2R31 at nucleotide positions 514 to 586, expected to be functional.eGene conversion with cTAS2R19 at nucleotide positions 141 to 273, expected to be functional.
