Maintenance of major histocompatibility supertype variation in selfing vertebrate is no evidence for overdominant selection
Comment Cite this article: van Oosterhout C. 2013 Maintenance of major histocompatibility supertype variation in selfing vertebrate is no evidence for overdominant selection. Proc R Soc B 280: 20122501. A principal challenge in evolutionary studies is that the evolutionary forces (i.e. mutation, recombination, gene flow, drift and selection) are rarely observed directly, but that they must be i...
متن کاملBalancing selection and the maintenance of MHC supertype variation in a selfing vertebrate.
Despite being probably one of the most studied topics in Evolutionary Biology, the mechanisms of maintenance of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) diversity in vertebrates remain also one of the most debated topics [1]. Ellison et al. [2] studied MHC class I diversity of a selfing Kryptolebias marmoratus population by clustering alleles in supertypes grouped by their physico-chemical simila...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of major histocompatibility complex class IIB alleles from three species of European ranid frogs
Immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are among the most polymorphic genes in the vertebrate genome. Due to their polymorphic nature, they are often used to assess the adaptive genetic variability of natural populations. This study describes the first molecular characterization of 13 partial MHC class IIB sequences from three European ranid frogs. The utility of previously...
متن کاملGenetic diversity at a single locus under viability selection and facultative apomixis: equilibrium structure and deviations from Hardy-Weinberg frequencies.
We extensively analyze the maintenance of genetic variation and deviations from Hardy-Weinberg frequencies at a diallelic locus under mixed mating with apomixis and constant viability selection. Analytical proofs show that: (1) at most one polymorphic equilibrium exists, (2) polymorphism requires overdominant or underdominant selection, and (3) a simple, modified overdominance condition is suff...
متن کاملMaintenance of DQB1 polymorphisms in primates.
To understand the evolution of the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) DQB1 locus in primates, the second exons of seven DQB1 alleles from five non-human primate species were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. Comparisons of these and other primate sequences show that no between-species diversity is greater than within-species diversity, suggesting maintenance of DQB1 alleles t...
