Immune genes and divergent antimicrobial peptides in flies of the subgenus Drosophila.

BMC evolutionary biology - 24 Oct 2016

Hanson Mark A, Hamilton Phineas T, Perlman Steve J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Drosophila is an important model for studying the evolution of animal immunity, due to the powerful genetic tools developed for D. melanogaster. However, Drosophila is an incredibly speciose lineage with a wide range of ecologies, natural histories, and diverse natural enemies. Surprisingly little functional work has been done on immune systems of species other than D. melanogaster. In this study, we...
