Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Parasite-Mediated Selection of MHC Class I Genes in <i>Emberiza godlewskii</i> (Passeriformes: Emberizidae)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a multi-copy immune gene family in vertebrates. Its genes are highly variable and code for antigen-presenting molecules. Characterization of MHC genes in different species and investigating the mechanisms that shape MHC diversity is an important goal in...
