Reconstructing an ancestral mammalian immune supercomplex from a marsupial major histocompatibility complex.

Reconstructing an ancestral mammalian immune supercomplex from a marsupial major histocompatibility complex.

The first sequenced marsupial genome promises to reveal unparalleled insights into mammalian evolution. We have used the Monodelphis domestica (gray short-tailed opossum) sequence to construct the first map of a marsupial major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The MHC is the most gene-dense region...
