Genomic complexity of the variable region-containing chitin-binding proteins in amphioxus

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The variable region-containing chitin-binding proteins (VCBPs) are found in protochordates and consist of two tandem immunoglobulin variable (V)-type domains and a chitin-binding domain. We previously have shown that these polymorphi...
