Divergences of the <i>RLR</i> Gene Families across Lophotrochozoans: Domain Grafting, Exon–Intron Structure, Expression, and Positive Selection

Divergences of the <i>RLR</i> Gene Families across Lophotrochozoans: Domain Grafting, Exon–Intron Structure, Expression, and Positive Selection

Invertebrates do not possess adaptive immunity but have evolved a variety of unique repertoires of innate immune sensors. In this study, we explored the immune diversity and specificity of invertebrates based on the lophotrochozoan <i>RLRs</i>, a major component in antiviral immune recog...
