Cation and Anion Channelrhodopsins: Sequence Motifs and Taxonomic Distribution

Cation and Anion Channelrhodopsins: Sequence Motifs and Taxonomic Distribution

ABSTRACT Cation and anion channelrhodopsins (CCRs and ACRs, respectively) primarily from two algal species, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Guillardia theta, have become widely used as optogenetic tools to control cell membrane potential with light. We mined algal and other protist polynucleotide sequ...
