Jung-Hyun Lee, Jong Bhak and their colleagues report the whole-genome sequencing and de novo assembly of a male minke whale genome, as well as the genome sequences of three additional minke whales, a fin whale, a bottlenose dolphin and a finless porpoise. Their comparative analysis across cetaceans provides insights into adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle.
