RNA-Seq reveals an integrated immune response in nucleated erythrocytes.
<h4>Background</h4>Throughout the primary literature and within textbooks, the erythrocyte has been tacitly accepted to have maintained a unique physiological role; namely gas transport and exchange. In non-mammalian vertebrates, nucleated erythrocytes are present in circulation througho...
