Ancient Fish Lineages Illuminate Toll-Like Receptor Diversification in Early Vertebrate Evolution
K. B. Carlson, C. Nguyen, D. J. Wcisel…·A. Dornburg
This study investigates the diversification of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) across vertebrate evolution using genomic and transcriptomic data, revealing new TLR clades and gene loss patterns linked to adaptive immune system development.
