The flow of antimicrobial peptide genes through a genetic barrier between Mytilus edulis and M. galloprovincialis.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 2009

Boon Eva, Faure Matthieu F, Bierne Nicolas

Abstract excerpt

We studied the population genetics of two antimicrobial peptide (AMP) loci, called Mytilin B and Mytilus galloprovincialis defensin 2 (MGD2), in the secondary contact mosaic hybrid zone between Mytilus edulis and M. galloprovincialis. The isolation period between the two species was estimated to be approximately 1 million years (range, 0.5 million to 2 million years) long. During this period, coevolution between...
