Temporal variation at the MHC class IIb in wild populations of the guppy (Poecilia reticulata).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jul 2010

Fraser Bonnie A, Ramnarine Indar W, Neff Bryan D

Abstract excerpt

Understanding genetic diversity in natural populations is a fundamental objective of evolutionary biology. The immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are excellent candidates to study such diversity because they are highly polymorphic in populations. Although balancing selection may be responsible for maintaining diversity at these functionally important loci, temporal variation in selection...
