Evolutionary diversification and Vibrio-responsive regulation of NF-κB signaling in bivalves: Evidence from Mimachlamys nobilis and comparative datasets.
The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway is a central regulator of innate immunity in animals, yet its evolutionary diversification in bivalve molluscs remains incompletely understood. Here, we analyzed NF-κB/Rel genes across 29 representative bivalve species from 11 families. Our analyses revealed substantial variat...
