Variation on islands: major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) polymorphism in populations of the Australian bush rat.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 1999

Seddon J M, Baverstock P R

Abstract excerpt

Loss of genetic variation in small, isolated populations is commonly observed at neutral or nearly neutral loci. In this study, the loss of genetic variation was assessed in island populations for a locus of major histocompatibility complex (Mhc), a locus shown to be under the influence of balancing selection. A total of 36 alleles was found at the second exon of RT1.Ba in 14 island and two mainland populations...
