Population fragmentation and major histocompatibility complex variation in the spotted suslik, Spermophilus suslicus.

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2008

Biedrzycka Aleksandra, Radwan Jacek

Abstract excerpt

The fragmentation of populations typically enhances depletion of genetic variation, but highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are thought to be under balancing selection and therefore retain polymorphism despite population bottlenecks. In this study, we investigate MHC DRB (class II) exon 2 variation in 14 spotted suslik populations from two regions differing in their degree of habitat...
