Abstract excerpt
Variation at MHC Class II-DQA locus in riverine and swamp buffaloes (Bubu) has been explored in this study. Through sequencing of buffalo DQA, 48 nucleotide variants identified from 17 individuals, reporting 42 novel alleles, including one pseudogene. Individual animal displayed two to seven variants, suggesting the presence of more than two Bubu-DQA loci, as an evidence of extensive duplication. dN values were...
