Article Synopsis
- The study explores how the antiviral response, particularly through the interferon system, has evolved in two types of salmonid fish—rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon—after they diverged about 25-30 million years ago.
- Researchers analyzed the gene responses related to interferon signaling in the head kidneys of both fish species, identifying many conserved interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) and comparing them with those in zebrafish and humans.
- A significant finding was that around one-third of the ISGs in salmonids do not have counterparts in several other species, indicating a rapidly evolving and unique antiviral mechanism specific to these fish, which has implications for studying their health and commercial importance.
