Evolution of the MHC-DQB exon 2 in marine and terrestrial mammals.

Immunogenetics - 1 Jan 2013

Villanueva-Noriega María José, Baker Charles Scott, Medrano-González Luis

Abstract excerpt

On the basis of a general low polymorphism, several studies suggest that balancing selection in the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is weaker in marine mammals as compared with terrestrial mammals. We investigated such differential selection among Cetacea, Artiodactyla, and Primat...
