Positive Selection of TLR2 and MyD88 Genes Provides Insights Into the Molecular Basis of Immunological Adaptation in Amphibians. [PDF]
We found that recurrent positive selection has acted on TLR2 and MyD88 in amphibians and positively selected sites were mainly located at or close to function domains. Our results suggest that amphibians have adapted to different pathogenic microorganisms during their transition from the aquatic to terrestrial environment and diversification into ...
