Diversifying selection on MHC class I in the house sparrow (Passer domesticus).

Molecular ecology - 1 Apr 2009

Loiseau Claire, Richard Murielle, Garnier Stéphane, Chastel Olivier, Julliard Romain, Zoorob Rima, Sorci Gabriele

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are the most polymorphic loci known in vertebrates. Two main hypotheses have been put forward to explain the maintenance of MHC diversity: pathogen-mediated selection and MHC-based mate choice. Host-parasite interactions can maintain MHC diversi...
