Additional File 1.Alignments of rat defensin genomic and protein sequences. Rat chromosomal sequence aligned with Defb21, Defb24 (A), Defb27, Defb30 (B) and Defb36 (C) amino acid sequences. Exons are in upper case letters, introns in lower case. Amino acids are indicated in single letters. Numbers in parenthesis indicate amino acids of the protein. The rat cDNA sequences are available at Genbank and were assigned the accession numbers: Defb21 (AY600147), Defb24 (AY600148), Defb27 (AY600149), Defb30 (AY600146) and Defb36 (AY615297).
