Neutral versus adaptive genetic variation in parasite resistance: importance of major histocompatibility complex supertypes in a free-ranging primate.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2007

Schwensow N, Fietz J, Dausmann K H, Sommer S

Abstract excerpt

Current discussions in evolutionary ecology and conservation genetics focus on the relative importance of using selective neutral markers or markers of coding genes to identify adaptive and evolutionary relevant processes. Genetic diversity might be particularly important in immune genes (e.g., in genes of the major histocompatibility complex, MHC), which are influencing pathogen and parasite resistance. We...
