Evolutionary genetics of insect innate immunity
Patterns of evolution in immune defense genes help to understand the evolutionary dynamics between hosts and pathogens. Multiple insect genomes have been sequenced, with many of them having annotated immune genes, which paves the way for a comparative genomic analysis of insect immunity. In this review, I summarize the current state of comparative and evolutionary genomics of insect innate immu...
متن کاملInsect immunity: evolutionary roots of the mammalian innate immune system.
The innate immune system of vertebrates was considered as a survival of ancient antimicrobial systems that have become obsolescent by the emergence of adaptive immunity. Despite the fact that innate immunity lacks the elegance of genetic recombination mechanism to produce trillions of specific clones of immune cells and shows no memory, that view is out of date. Today, the innate immune system ...
متن کاملMaking connections in insect innate immunity.
I mmune response in the arthropod vector to virus infection is a critical determinant of transmission for arboviruses such as West Nile virus (WNV). The immune response modulates outcomes of infection such as viral load, incubation period required for transmission, and viral pathogenesis in the vector (1, 2). As insects appear to lack an adaptive immune response characteristic of vertebrates, t...

We review recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of insect immune defence, but do so in a framework defined by the ecological and ADVANCES IN INSECT PHYSIOLOGY VOL. 32
متن کاملEditorial: Functions of Non-Coding RNA in Innate Immunity
Our understanding of the functions that non-coding RNAs play in shaping the immune response is still in its infancy. The breakthroughs in deep sequencing technology have provided us with an unprecedented view of the human genome. The deeper we sequence the more non-coding genes we identify, while the number of protein coding genes remains constant. GENCODE represents the gene set of the ENCODE ...
