Selection and demography drive range-wide patterns of MHC-DRB variation in mule deer
Abstract Background Standing genetic variation is important especially in immune response-related genes because of threats to wild populations like the emergence of novel pathogens. Genetic variation at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which is crucial in activating the adaptive immune re...
