Alpha globin variation in the long-tailed macaque suggests malaria selection
2020-10-21
Abstract excerpt
Human haemoglobin variants, such as sickle, confer protection against death from malaria; consequently, frequencies of such variants are often greatly elevated in humans from malaria endemic regions. Among non-human primates, the long-tailed macaque, Macaca fascicularis , also displays substantial haemoglobin variation. Almost all M. fascicularis haemoglobin variation is in the alpha globin chain, encoded by two...
