A chelicerate-specific burst of nonclassical Dscam diversity

A chelicerate-specific burst of nonclassical Dscam diversity

Abstract Background The immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily receptor Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) gene can generate tens of thousands of isoforms via alternative splicing, which is essential for both nervous and immune systems in insects. However, further information is required to devel...
