Characterization of antimicrobial peptides in anuran genomes through orthologs and phylogenetic analysis

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are vital components of the innate immune system, with cathelicidins standing out due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. This study explores the diversity and molecular evolution of cathelicidins across 27 anuran species, spanning 13 families. Utilizing d...
