Latitudinal diversity gradient and cetaceans from the perspective of MHC genes.

Immunogenetics - 1 Sept 2020

Andreani Maria Luiza, Freitas Lucas, Ramos Elisa K S, Nery Mariana F

Abstract excerpt

Pathogen diversity is a key source of selective pressure on immune system genes, shaping molecular evolution mainly on widely distributed or migratory organisms such as cetaceans. Here, we investigated the effects of latitudinal span migration, different biomes occupation, and pathogen-mediated selection on MHC DQB locus divergence on cetaceans. We applied some evolutionary genetics methods using a dataset of 15...
