Description

Gu and co-authors catalog the Wnt gene family in the forest musk deer, in a 2025 study. Wnt genes steer growth, cell fate, and tissue upkeep in animals. The team searched the deer's genome, built with modern long-read methods, during the musk secretion stage. They mapped each gene's spot, shape, and traits, and built a family tree.

Eighteen Wnt genes sat across eight chromosomes. Their protein sizes and charges fell in set ranges. Only five carried signal tags for export from the cell. Six shared motifs ran through the set. The tree matched kin species such as cattle and red deer well. Musk gland data showed stage-tied activity for many of the genes.
