Abstract

The sea star IGKappa gene was cloned in 2014 by the use of primers. It was compared, in the present work, to 3 other sea star genomes: Acanthaster planci, Patiria miniata and Marthasterias glacialis sea star genomes. A high identity, from a bioinformatic point of view, was found, with these last ones, with, a significant e-value. Sea star Igkappa genes may be present in these 4 asterids which belong to the Echinoderm Phylum (Invertebrates)
