Positive diversifying selection in avian Mx genes.

Immunogenetics - 1 Nov 2008

Berlin Sofia, Qu Lujiang, Li Xianyao, Yang Ning, Ellegren Hans

Abstract excerpt

Mx proteins are interferon-induced GTPases that confer antiviral activities against RNA viruses. We analysed the molecular evolution of the Mx gene in birds using data on interspecific divergence in anseriform and galliform birds, and on intraspecific diversity in commercial chicken lines, local Chinese chicken breeds as well as in the mallard. The overall ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous substitution was...
