Cheetah paradigm revisited: MHC diversity in the world's largest free-ranging population.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2011

Castro-Prieto Aines, Wachter Bettina, Sommer Simone

Abstract excerpt

For more than two decades, the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) has been considered a paradigm of disease vulnerability associated with low genetic diversity, particularly at the immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Cheetahs have been used as a classic example in numerous conservation genetics textbooks as well as in many related scientific publications. However, earlier studies used methods with...
