Net charges of DptA or DptC domains from Drosophila diptericins. Net charges were calculated using Protein Calculator v3.4 (http://protcalc.sourceforge.net/), and are given for each domain. DptC shows
The negative effects of inbreeding on fitness are serious concerns for populations of endangered species. Reduced fitness has been associated with lower genome-wide heterozygosity and immune gene dive
Individuals in natural populations are frequently exposed to a wide range of pathogens. Given the diverse profile of gene products involved in responses to different types of pathogen, this potentiall
The quagga mussel genome was sequenced to investigate the molecular basis for freshwater tolerance during embryogenesis. The quagga mussel is a highly successful invasive pest of freshwater habitats a
