Selection, diversity and evolutionary patterns of the MHC class II DAB in free-ranging Neotropical marsupials.

BMC genetics - 5 Jun 2008

Meyer-Lucht Yvonne, Otten Celine, Püttker Thomas, Sommer Simone

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Research on the genetic architecture and diversity of the MHC has focused mainly on eutherian mammals, birds and fish. So far, studies on model marsupials used in laboratory investigations indicated very little or even no variation in MHC class II genes. However, natural levels of div...
