Dynamics of Mhc evolution in birds and crocodilians: amplification of class II genes with degenerate primers.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 1995

Edwards S V, Grahn M, Potts W K

Abstract excerpt

Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) are the most polymorphic functional loci in mammalian populations, but little is known of Mhc variability in natural populations of nonmammalian vertebrates. To help extend such studies to birds and relatives, we present a pair of degenerate pri...
