Identification of immune genes from the transcriptome dataset of Channa striatus and bioactivity of derived peptides
In this study, selected immune molecules with putative immune functions were identified from the transcriptome dataset of freshwater fish, Channa striatus. A brief bioinformatics analysis was carried out to confirm the antimicrobial/immunological function of the identified genes and derived protein sequences. From the identified proteins, few bio-active peptides were derived and their biological functions such as antimicrobial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory functions were determined.
