Evolutionary genetics of MHC class II beta genes in the brown hare, Lepus europaeus.

Immunogenetics - 1 Nov 2011

Abstract excerpt

The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are attractive candidates for investigating the link between adaptive variation and individual fitness. High levels of diversity at the MHC are thought to be the result of parasite-mediated selection and there is growing evidence to support this theory. Most studies, however, target just a single gene within the MHC and infer any evidence of selection to be...
