Post-copulatory genetic matchmaking: HLA-dependent effects of cervical mucus on human sperm function

19 Aug 2020

Abstract excerpt

Several studies have demonstrated that women show pre-copulatory mating preferences for human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-dissimilar men. A fascinating, yet unexplored, possibility is that the ultimate mating bias towards HLA-dissimilar partners could occur after copulation, at the gamete level. Here, we explored this possibility by investigating whether the selection towards HLA-dissimilar partners occurs in the...
