Comparative profiling of the transcriptional response to infection in two species of Drosophila by short-read cDNA sequencing

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Homology-based comparisons of the genes involved in innate immunity across many insect taxa with fully sequenced genomes has revealed a striking pattern of gene gain and loss, particularly among genes that encode proteins involved in...
