Unraveling the effects of selection and demography on immune gene variation in free-ranging plains zebra (Equus quagga) populations.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Kamath Pauline L, Getz Wayne M

Abstract excerpt

Demography, migration and natural selection are predominant processes affecting the distribution of genetic variation among natural populations. Many studies use neutral genetic markers to make inferences about population history. However, the investigation of functional coding loci, which directly reflect fitness, is critical to our understanding of species' ecology and evolution. Immune genes, such as those of...
