The prospects for polymorphisms shared between species.

Heredity - 1 Mar 1992

Golding B

Abstract excerpt

Recent molecular evidence has shown that many MHC polymorphisms are not only shared between species but are in fact identical at the molecular level. Species that share these polymorphisms may be very distantly related and often diverged millions of generations ago. It is now known that this phen...
