Toward an evolutionary genomics of the avian Mhc

1 Feb 1999

Abstract excerpt

We review recent developments in the ongoing study of the evolution of the Mhc gene family in birds, with emphasis on class II B genes and results from songbirds obtained in our laboratory. Southern blots suggest a surprising diversity in Mhc class II gene number among various songbird species (Passeriformes). We have sequenced approximately 30 kb contigs from Mhc bearing cosmid clones from two species,...
