Signatures of historical selection on MHC reveal different selection patterns in the moor frog (Rana arvalis).

Immunogenetics - 1 Jul 2018

Cortázar-Chinarro M, Meyer-Lucht Y, Laurila A, Höglund J

Abstract excerpt

MHC genes are key components in disease resistance and an excellent system for studying selection acting on genetic variation in natural populations. Current patterns of variation in MHC genes are likely to be influenced by past and ongoing selection as well as demographic fluctuations in population size such as those imposed by post-glacial recolonization processes. Here, we investigated signatures of historical...
