A new chromosome-scale duck genome shows a major histocompatibility complex with several expanded multigene families

Abstract Background The duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is one of the principal natural hosts of influenza A virus (IAV), harbors almost all subtypes of IAVs and resists to many IAVs which cause extreme virulence in chicken and human. However, the response of duck’s adaptive immune system to IAV infection...
