Geographic heterogeneity in natural selection on an MHC locus in sockeye salmon.

Genetica - 1 Jan 2001

Miller K M, Kaukinen K H, Beacham T D, Withler R E

Abstract excerpt

Balancing selection maintains high levels of polymorphism and heterozygosity in genes of the MHC (major histocompatibility complex) of vertebrate organisms, and promotes long evolutionary persistence of individual alleles and strongly differentiated allelic lineages. In this study, genetic variation at the MHC class II DAB-beta1 locus was examined in 31 populations of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)...
