Title
Gene Family Evolution of Mucin Genes Across Reptiles
Description
Our bodies are constantly fighting off viral pathogens both with our external barriers such as skin as well as internally through the immune system. Mucin genes specifically Muc5AC and Muc5B help assist in this process by activating both bacterial and mucus pathogenesis. Their gene expression is correlated with temperature meaning that in warmer temperatures they have decreased expression. Developing a better understanding of their functionality as well as their expression can help species that are in danger of becoming extinct.
