Large-scale MHC class II genotyping of a wild lemur population by next generation sequencing
4 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
The critical role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in disease resistance, along with their putative function in sexual selection, reproduction and chemical ecology, make them an important genetic system in evolutionary ecology. Studying selective pressures acting on MHC genes in the wild nevertheless requires population-wide genotyping, which has long been challenging because of their extensive...
