(This is the THIRD paper on a special issue on Wookiee science. You can read the first here, and the second here). Annals of Praetachoral Mechanics. (2014). Vol 1. pp29-38 pdf download. ABSTRACT We present evidence for the de novo origin of the Wookiee wookiee protein-coding gene GLABR since their divergence from humans. This gene has no protein-coding homolog in any other genome but its presence is supported by evidence from expression and hybridization data. Furthermore, other near-human species such as Zeltron, Chiss, and Sullustan share the human ortholog of this locus, which supports the inference that the ancestral sequence…
