Genetic variation and selection of MHC class I loci differ in two congeneric frogs.

Genetica - 1 Apr 2018

Kiemnec-Tyburczy Karen M, Tracy Karen E, Lips Karen R, Zamudio Kelly R

Abstract excerpt

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes encode proteins in the acquired immune response pathway that often show distinctive selection-driven patterns in wild vertebrate populations. We examined genetic variation and signatures of selection in the MHC class I alpha 1 (A1)- and alpha 2 (A2)-domain encoding exons of two frog congeners [Agalychnis callidryas (n = 20) and A. lemur (n = 20)] from a single locality...
