Genetic localization of the SPC gene controlling pod coiling direction in Medicago truncatula

Toll like receptors and their evolution in the lymnaeid freshwater snail species Radix auricularia and Lymnaea stagnalis, key intermediate hosts for zoonotic trematodes

“…In recent years owing to the ever-increasing availability of high-quality reference genomes for non-model organisms the identification of genes and the exploration of gene families has become more efficient and a major area of research in invertebrate biology. In this current study ten putative complete TLR genes were identified for the first time in the lymnaeid snails R. auricularia and L. stagnalis based on gene prediction models designed to predict genes based on homology searches, a standard approach for organisms ranging from animals and plants which lack detailed transcriptomic data (Adema et al, 2017;Deng et al, 2014;Patnaik et al, 2019;Yu et al, 2020;Terada et al, 2016). Predicted TLR protein sequences that were identified in this study were directly comparable with those identified in B. glabrata and were homologous to those within TLR classes 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 as described in Adema et al (2017).…”
