On the need for combining complementary analyses to assess the effect of a candidate gene and the evolution of its polymorphism: the example of the Major Histocompatibility Complex in chicken.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this paper is to combine different but complementary approaches to check the neutrality of a given locus in a selected population. Analysis was undertaken through the polymorphism's evolution compared with that predicted under the effect of drift and through the analysis of the variance components of the measured traits, considering the effect of the locus as either a fixed or a random effect.
