High amino acid diversity and positive selection at a putative coral immunity gene (tachylectin-2)

BACKGROUND: Genes involved in immune functions, including pathogen recognition and the activation of innate defense pathways, are among the most genetically variable known, and the proteins that they encode are often characterized by high rates of amino acid substitutions, a hallmark of positive sel...
