Evolution of MHC class II E beta diversity within the genus Peromyscus.

Genetics - 1 May 2003

Richman Adam D, Herrera L Gerardo, Nash Deanna

Abstract excerpt

Progress in understanding the evolution of variation at the MHC has been slowed by an inability to assess the relative roles of mutation vs. intragenic recombination in contributing to observed polymorphism. Recent theoretical advances now permit a quantitative treatment of the problem, with the result that the amount of recombination is at least an order of magnitude greater than that of mutation in the history...
