Comparative genomic analysis and evolution of the T cell receptor loci in the opossum <it>Monodelphis domestica</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>All jawed-vertebrates have four T cell receptor (TCR) chains: alpha (TRA), beta (TRB), gamma (TRG) and delta (TRD). Marsupials appear unique by having an additional TCR: mu (TRM). The evolutionary origin of TRM and its relationship t...
