| recombination and selection in the major histocompatibility complex of the endangered forest musk deer (moschus berezovskii). | the forest musk deer (moschus berezovskii) is a high elevation species distributed across western china and northern vietnam. once abundant, habitat loss and poaching has led to a dramatic decrease in population numbers prompting the iucn to list the species as endangered. here, we characterized the genetic diversity of a major histocompatibility complex (mhc) locus and teased apart driving factors shaping its variation. seven drb exon 2 alleles were identified among a group of randomly sampled ... | 2015 | 26603338 |
