Ancient diversity in host-parasite interaction genes in a model parasitic nematode

Ancient diversity in host-parasite interaction genes in a model parasitic nematode

Abstract Host-parasite interactions exert strong selection pressures on the genomes of both host and parasite. These interactions can lead to negative frequency-dependent selection, a form of balancing selection that is hypothesised to explain the high levels of polymorphism seen in many host immune...
