Non-neutral evolution of the major histocompatibility complex class II gene DRB1 in the sac-winged bat Saccopteryx bilineata.

Heredity - 1 Sept 2007

Mayer F, Brunner A

Abstract excerpt

The immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are classical examples for high levels of genetic diversity and non-neutral evolution. This is particularly true for the regions containing the antigen-binding sites as, for instance, in the exon 2 of the MHC class II gene DRB. We sur...
