Exchanges of short polymorphic DNA segments predating speciation in feline major histocompatibility complex class I genes.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jul 1994

Yuhki N, O'Brien S J

Abstract excerpt

Sequence comparisons of 14 distinct MHC class I cDNA clones isolated from species representing the three major taxonomic lineages of Felidae (domestic cat lineage, ocelot lineage, and pantherine lineage) revealed that feline MHC class I alleles have highly mosaic structures with short polymorphic...
