Immune activation by a multigene family of lectins with variable tandem repeats in oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense)

Immune activation by a multigene family of lectins with variable tandem repeats in oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense)

Genomic regions with repeated sequences are unstable and prone to rapid DNA diversification. However, the role of tandem repeats within the coding region is not fully characterized. Here, we have identified a new hypervariable C-type lectin gene family with different numbers of tandem repeats (Rlecs...
