A Polymorphic (CT)n-SSR Influences the Activity of the Litopenaeus vannamei IRF Gene Implicated in Viral Resistance
6 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) of short nucleotide motifs occur very frequently in the 5′ untranslated coding region (5′-UTR) of genes and have been implicated in the regulation of gene expression. In this study, we identified an SSR with a variable number of CT repeats in the 5′-UTR of the Litopenaeus vannamei IRF (LvIRF) gene that has been shown to mediate antiviral responses by inducing the expression of Vago,...
