Integrated Full-Length Transcriptomics, RNA-Seq and Peptidomics Define an Isoform-Resolved Skin Defense Repertoire in the Chinese Spiny Frog (Quasipaa spinosa)
Amphibian skin relies on secreted effectors and inducible immune pathways, but short-read RNA sequencing cannot reliably resolve the transcript isoforms and precursor structures underlying this defense system. We generated the first full-length skin transcriptome for the Chinese spiny frog (Quasipaa spinosa) by integra...
