Transcriptome Analysis of <i>Psacothea hilaris</i>: De Novo Assembly and Antimicrobial Peptide Prediction

Transcriptome Analysis of <i>Psacothea hilaris</i>: De Novo Assembly and Antimicrobial Peptide Prediction

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the frontline innate defense system evolutionarily preserved in insects to combat invading pathogens. These AMPs could serve as an alternative to classical antibiotics to overcome the burden of treating multidrug resistant bacteria. Psacotheasin, a knottin type AMP...
