Low diversity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in endangered Malayan Tapir (Tapirus indicus) by Ismail, Nurul Adilah, Christina, Seok Yien Yong, Simon, Yung Wa Sin, Annavi, Geetha

“…This study characterises the MHC class I and II genes from seven individuals, investigates evidence of balancing selection and their relationships with homologous genes of other species. We identified at least one class I gene and four class II genes. Five sequences of alpha1 (α1) and four of alpha2 (α2) domains of class I alleles, two DRA, two DQA, three DRB and three DQB of class II alleles were isolated. α1 and α2 domains of class I and DRB domain of class II displayed evidence of selection with a higher rate of non-synonymous over synonymous substitutions. …”
