Egernia stokesii (gidgee skink) MHC I positively selected sites lack concordance with HLA peptide binding regions.

Immunogenetics - 1 Jan 2017

Pearson Sarah K, Bull C Michael, Gardner Michael G

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play an important role in vertebrate disease resistance, kin recognition and mate choice. Mammalian MHC is the most widely characterised of all vertebrates, and attention is often given to the peptide binding regions of the MHC because they are presumed to be under stronger selection than non-peptide binding regions. For vertebrates where the MHC is less well...
