Insect Innate Immunity Database (IIID): An Annotation Tool for Identifying Immune Genes in Insect Genomes
The innate immune system is an ancient component of host defense. Since innate immunity pathways are well conserved throughout many eukaryotes, immune genes in model animals can be used to putatively identify homologous genes in newly sequenced genomes of non-model organisms. With the initiation of...
