Accurate characterization of the IFITM locus using MiSeq and PacBio sequencing shows genetic variation in Galliformes

Abstract Background Interferon inducible transmembrane (IFITM) proteins are effectors of the immune system widely characterized for their role in restricting infection by diverse enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. The chicken IFITM (chIFITM) genes are clustered on chromosome 5 and to date four gen...
