Figure 4. Schematic alignment of transcript sequences of three antimicrobial peptides, Cg-Defh, Cg-Defm and Cg-Prp from H and L oyster lines.

Transcript sequences were obtained by PCR from whole oyster body RNA, from L lines (L) and H line (H) oysters. Numbers between parentheses at the left of sequences indicate the number of identical sequences found. Black bars indicate polymorphic sites compared to the first sequence.
