Detecting the signature of selection on immune genes in highly structured populations of wild sheep (Ovis dalli).

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2006

Worley K, Carey J, Veitch A, Coltman D W

Abstract excerpt

The confounding effects of population structure complicate efforts to identify regions of the genome under the influence of selection in natural populations. Here we test for evidence of selection in three genes involved in vertebrate immune function - the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), interferon gamma (IFNG) and natural resistance associated macrophage polymorphism (NRAMP) - in highly structured...
