Balancing selection versus allele and supertype turnover in MHC class II genes in guppies.

Heredity - 1 Mar 2021

Herdegen-Radwan Magdalena, Phillips Karl P, Babik Wieslaw, Mohammed Ryan S, Radwan Jacek

Abstract excerpt

Selection pressure from parasites is thought to be a major force shaping the extreme polymorphism of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, but the modes and consequences of selection remain unclear. Here, we analyse MHC class II and microsatellite diversity in 16 guppy (Poecilia reticulata) populations from two islands (Trinidad and Tobago) that have been separated for at least 10 ky....
