MHC class II beta sequence diversity in the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus): implications for models of balancing selection.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2001

Richman A D, Herrera L G, Nash D

Abstract excerpt

We studied population polymorphism at a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II beta gene in the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). We found that: (i) a single population of P. maniculatus has significantly higher levels of DNA and protein sequence diversity than worldwide samples from homologous genes in other taxa, including humans and mice; and (ii) the genealogy of allelic sequences in P....
