Article

Genetic diversity and differentiation at MHC genes in island populations of tuatara (Sphenodon spp.).

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2010

Miller Hilary C, Allendorf Fred, Daugherty Charles H

Abstract excerpt

Neutral genetic markers are commonly used to understand the effects of fragmentation and population bottlenecks on genetic variation in threatened species. Although neutral markers are useful for inferring population history, the analysis of functional genes is required to determine the significa...
