Species-specific evolution of class I MHC genes in iguanas (order: Squamata; subfamily: Iguaninae).

Immunogenetics - 1 Jul 2008

Glaberman Scott, Caccone Adalgisa

Abstract excerpt

Over the last few decades, the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has emerged as a model for understanding the influence of natural selection on genetic diversity in populations as well as for investigating the genetic basis of host resistance to pathogens. However, many vertebrate taxa remain underrepresented in the field of MHC research, preventing its application to studies of disease, evolution, and...
