Organisation and evolution of the major histocompatibility complex class I genes in cetaceans
Summary: A quarter of marine mammals are at risk of extinction, with disease and poor habitat quality contributing to population decline. Investigation of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) provides insight into species’ capacity to respond to immune and environmental challenges. The eightee...
