β-defensins are two exon genes which encode broad spectrum antimicrobial cationic peptides. We have analyzed the largest murine cluster of these genes which localizes to chromosome 8. Using hidden Markov models, we identified six β-defensin exon 2–like sequences and subsequently found full-length expressed transcripts for these novel genes. Express...
