Selection on MHC-linked microsatellite loci in sheep populations.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2007

Santucci F, Ibrahim K M, Bruzzone A, Hewit G M

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region have received increasing attention as proxy measures of the level of polymorphism at the Mhc genes themselves. We assessed the diversity of microsatellite loci within or in close proximity of the Mhc genes in several breeds of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) and the wild Mouflon (Ovis orientalis musimon). This was compared to variation at other...
