Rare alleles, MHC and captive breeding.

EXS - 1 Jan 1994

Hedrick P W, Miller P S

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, more detailed genetic information has become available for individuals of endangered species in captive breeding programs. There have been suggestions that this information be used to identify rare alleles, particularly those at the MHC, that can be subsequently selected for captive breeding programs. First, we summarize the current information on the MHC relevant to conservation genetics, so...
