Diversity at the major histocompatibility complex Class II in the platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jul 2012

Abstract excerpt

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is the sole survivor of a previously widely distributed and diverse lineage of ornithorhynchid monotremes. Its dependence on healthy water systems imposes an inherent sensitivity to habitat degradation and climate change. Here, we compare genetic diversity at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class II-DZB gene and 3 MHC-associated microsatellite markers with...
