Abstract excerpt
Innate immune-related genes are shaped by strong selection pressures due to host-pathogen co-evolution, yet the evolutionary trajectory of cathelicidin antimicrobial (AMP) gene is poorly understood. Despite their central role in innate immunity, the extent of sequence diversification of myeloid cathelicidins across livestock subspecies remains unclear. Present study investigated inter-breed and inter-species...
