High MHC DQB variation and asymmetric allelic distribution in the endangered Yangtze finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis.

Biochemical genetics - 1 Jun 2010

Abstract excerpt

The endangered Yangtze finless porpoise is found in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and its adjoining big lakes. To explore the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genetic diversity and allelic distribution patterns across its range, we investigated variation at DQB exon 2. From 76 porpoises, we identified 18 DQB sequences. The freshwater Yangtze populations had much higher allelic diversity...
