Abstract excerpt
Non‑invasive fecal sampling coupled with molecular analysis is an established tool in avian research. Herein, we used this approach to investigate the polymorphism of the MHC IIB gene in Grus japonensis and obtained three complete coccidia mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from fecal samples. We identified a total of 19 MHC IIB exon 2 alleles in 85 fecal samples, with 13 of them being newly discovered. All...
