vertebrate classes. The transition of squamates from aquatic to terrestrial mode of life
caused profound changes in their immune system to combat the altered variety of pathogens
on land. The current study aims at delineating the evolution of defence mechanisms in wall
lizard, Hemidactylus flaviviridis, by exploring its immunome. De novo sequencing of splenic
transcriptome from wall lizard on the Illumina Hi-Seq platform generated 258,128 unique …
