The role of genomic data in the discovery, annotation and evolutionary interpretation of the interferon-lambda family.

BACKGROUND:Type-I interferons, type-II interferons, and the IL-10 family are helical cytokines with similar three-dimensional folds. However, their homologous relationship is difficult to detect on the basis of sequence alone. We have previously described the discovery of the human type-III interfer...
