Sequence polymorphism and evolution of three cetacean MHC genes.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 2009

Xu Shi Xia, Ren Wen Hua, Li Shu Zhen, Wei Fu Wen, Zhou Kai Ya, Yang Guang

Abstract excerpt

Sequence variability at three major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes (DQB, DRA, and MHC-I) of cetaceans was investigated in order to get an overall understanding of cetacean MHC evolution. Little sequence variation was detected at the DRA locus, while extensive and considerable variability were found at the MHC-I and DQB loci. Phylogenetic reconstruction and sequence comparison revealed extensive sharing of...
