Ovodefensin peptides predicted in the Komodo dragon genome
| Name | Closest Anole Ortholog | Closest Snake Ortholog | Sequences |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scaffold 210 Ovodefensins | This scaffold contains the cluster of six β-ovodefensin genes, one intercluster β defensin, and 15 β-defensin genes that are similar to anole lizard β-defensins. The cluster begins with the CTSB gene. These genes include large β defensins. | ||
