Copy number variation and genetic diversity of MHC Class IIb alleles in an alien population of Xenopus laevis.

Immunogenetics - 1 Oct 2015

Mable Barbara K, Kilbride Elizabeth, Viney Mark E, Tinsley Richard C

Abstract excerpt

Xenopus laevis (the African clawed frog), which originated through hybridisation and whole genome duplication, has been used as a model for genetics and development for many years, but surprisingly little is known about immune gene variation in natural populations. The purpose of this study was to use an isolated population of X. laevis that was introduced to Wales, UK in the past 50 years to investigate how...
