MHC class IIB additive and non-additive effects on fitness measures in the guppy Poecilia reticulata.

Journal of fish biology - 1 Dec 2009

Fraser B A, Neff B D

Abstract excerpt

The genetic architecture of fitness at the class IIB gene of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the guppy Poecilia reticulata was analysed. Diversity at the MHC is thought to be maintained by some form of balancing selection; heterozygote advantage, frequency-dependent selection or spatially and temporally fluctuating selection. Here these hypotheses are evaluated by using an algorithm that partitions...
