Parasite mediated homogenizing selection at the MHC in guppies.

Genetica - 1 Feb 2010

Fraser Bonnie A, Neff Bryan D

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the selective forces influencing genetic diversity is a fundamental goal of evolutionary ecology. The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play a key role in the adaptive immune response of vertebrates and thus provide an excellent opportunity to examine the agents of selection on a functionally important gene. Here we examine the genetic architecture of the MHC class IIB genes in 10...
