Unheralded high MHC Class II polymorphism in the abundant Atlantic herring resolved by long-read sequencing

2025-06-08

Abstract excerpt

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes are the most polymorphic in vertebrate genomes due to their important function of presenting a diversity of peptides from pathogens to initiate an adaptive immune response. Here, we have characterized MHC class II genes and explored their polymorphism and evolution in one of the most abundant vertebrates in the world, Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus). The vast populat...
