Density-related changes in selection pattern for major histocompatibility complex genes in fluctuating populations of voles.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2007

Bryja J, Charbonnel N, Berthier K, Galan M, Cosson J-F

Abstract excerpt

Host-pathogen interactions are of particular interest in studies of the interplay between population dynamics and natural selection. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes of demographically fluctuating species are highly suitable markers for such studies, because they are involved in initiating the immune response against pathogens and display a high level of adaptive genetic variation. We investigated...
