A Sea Star Asterias Rubens IGKappa Gene when Compared to 3 Other Sea Star Genomes from Patiria Miniata, Acanthaster Planci and Marthasterias Glacialis (Echinodermata)

Abstract

The sea star IGKappa gene was cloned in 2014 by the use of primers. It was compared, in the present work, to 3 other sea star genomes: Acanthaster planci, Patiria miniata and Marthasterias glacialis sea star genomes. A high identity, from a bioinformatic point of view, was found, with these last ones, with, a significant e-value. Sea star Igkappa genes may be present in these 4 asterids which belong to the Echinoderm Phylum (Invertebrates)
