Molecular Characterization and Evolution of Toll-like Receptors in the Reissner Lamprey (Lethenteron reissneri)
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are evolutionarily conserved sensors of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The chromosomal organization and post-duplication diversification of the TLR repertoire in Lethenteron reissneri remain incompletely characterized. We combined chromosome-level genome screening with phylogenetic,...
