Selection at the MHC class IIB locus across guppy (Poecilia reticulata) populations.

Heredity - 1 Feb 2010

Fraser B A, Ramnarine I W, Neff B D

Abstract excerpt

The highly diverse genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are important in the adaptive immune system and are expected to be under selection from pathogens. Thus, the MHC genes provide an exceptional opportunity to investigate patterns of selection within and across populations. In this study, we analyzed genetic variation at the MHC class IIB gene and six microsatellite loci across 10 populations of...
