Inferring population history and demography using microsatellites, mitochondrial DNA, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2008

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have traditionally been used in population genetics because of their variability and presumed neutrality, whereas genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are increasingly of interest because strong selective pressures shape their standing variation. Despite the potential for MHC genes, microsatellites, and mtDNA sequences to complement one another in...
