MHC DQB-1 polymorphism in the Gulf of California fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) population.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

One of the most isolated populations of fin whales occurs in the Gulf of California (GOC) with 400-800 individuals. This population shows reduced neutral genetic variation in comparison to the North Pacific population and thus might also display limited adaptive polymorphism. We sampled 36 fin whales from the GOC and assessed genetic variation at exon 2 of the major histocompatibility complex class II DQB-1 genes...
