Identification of reptilian genes encoding hair keratin-like proteins suggests a new scenario for the evolutionary origin of hair

The appearance of hair is one of the main evolutionary innovations in the amniote lineage leading to mammals. The main components of mammalian hair are cysteine-rich type I and type II keratins, also known as hard α-keratins or “hair keratins.” To determine the evolutionary history of these importan...
