Origin and evolution of the RIG-I like RNA helicase gene family
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The DExD/H domain containing RNA helicases such as retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) are key cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) for detecting nucleotide pathogen...
