Funded Activity Summary

Understanding mechanisms and functions of evolutionary divergence in innate immune genes. Microorganisms constantly challenge the immune systems of all multi-cellular organisms, and host immune genes must be able to co-evolve with microbes in order for a species to propagate. This project will investigate how host immune genes in a species evolve to enable that species to continue.
