Sequence-based evidence for major histocompatibility complex-disassortative mating in a colonial seabird.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jan 2012

Juola Frans A, Dearborn Donald C

Abstract excerpt

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a polymorphic gene family associated with immune defence, and it can play a role in mate choice. Under the genetic compatibility hypothesis, females choose mates that differ genetically from their own MHC genotypes, avoiding inbreeding and/or enhancing the immunocompetence of their offspring. We tested this hypothesis of disassortative mating based on MHC genotypes in...
