Trans-species polymorphism and evidence of selection on class II MHC loci in tuco-tucos (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae).

Immunogenetics - 1 Dec 2007

Cutrera Ana Paula, Lacey Eileen A

Abstract excerpt

Balancing selection acting over the evolutionary history of a lineage can result in the retention of alleles among species for longer than expected under neutral evolution. The associated pattern of trans-species polymorphism, in which similar or even identical alleles are shared among species, is often used to infer that balancing selection has occurred. The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)...
