Adult survival in migratory caribou is negatively associated with MHC functional diversity.

Heredity - 1 Nov 2020

Gagnon Marianne, Yannic Glenn, Boyer Frédéric, Côté Steeve D

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are involved in acquired immunity in vertebrates. Only a few studies have investigated the fitness consequences of MHC gene diversity in wild populations. Here, we looked at the association between annual survival and body mass and MHC-DRB exon 2 (MHC-DRB) genetic diversity, obtained from high-throughput sequencing, in two declining migratory caribou (Rangifer...
