Detection of novel antimicrobial peptides from the skin of anuran amphibians (Anura) through genomic analysis

This study presents the results of our searching for antimicrobial peptide genes in the amphibian skin granular glands using next-generation sequencing. Bioinformatic analysis of genomic data from 36 individuals belonging to 10 species of anuran amphibians revealed sequences of esculentin, temporin, ranacyclin, bradykinin (kininogen-1), and bombinin in three amphibian species (Bombina bombina, Rana arvalis, and Pelophylax ridibundus).
