Molecular evolution of daphnia immunity genes: polymorphism in a gram-negative binding protein gene and an alpha-2-macroglobulin gene.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Oct 2004

Little Tom J, Colbourne John K, Crease Teresa J

Abstract excerpt

Studies of DNA polymorphism have shown that some immune system genes of mammals and plants are exceptionally diverse, indicating that coevolution between these taxa and their parasites mediates positive selective sweeps and/or balancing selection. The genes of the arthropod immune system remain comparatively unstudied. We isolated two putative immune system genes from the cladoceran crustacean Daphnia and...
