A 39-kb sequence around a blackbird Mhc class II gene: ghost of selection past and songbird genome architecture.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2000

Abstract excerpt

To gain an understanding of the evolution and genomic context of avian major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) genes, we sequenced a 38.8-kb Mhc-bearing cosmid insert from a red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). The DNA sequence, the longest yet retrieved from a bird other than a chicken, provides a detailed view of the process of gene duplication, divergence, and degeneration ("birth and death") in the...
