Figure 5. Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences of three antimicrobial peptides, Cg-Defh, Cg-Defm and Cg-Prp, from H and L oyster lines.

Amino acid sequences were deduced from transcripts sequences obtained 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 substitution sites and dots show identical amino acids compared to the first sequence. Amino acids under positive selection are shown in gray (using the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions per codon).
