The role of natural hybridization in the evolutionary history of numerous species is well
recognized. The impact of introgressive hybridization and hybrid speciation has been …

Productivity in dairy cattle and buffaloes depends on the genetic factors governing the
production of milk and milk constituents as well as genetic factors controlling disease …

Abstract Background Bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLAs) are used extensively as markers of
disease and immunological traits in cattle. However, until now, characterization of BoLA …

Pathogen‐mediated selection and sexual selection are important drivers of evolution. Both
processes are known to target genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a gene …

A systematic nomenclature for the genes and alleles of the swine major histocompatibility
complex (MHC) is essential to the development and communication of research in swine …

Reticulate Evolution and Humans is the first book to describe the effect of genetic exchange
on the origin and evolution of our own species as well as those species with which we have …

The association of the polymorphism of bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA‐DRB3) genes
identified by the polymerase chain reaction sequence‐based typing (PCR‐SBT) method …

Highly polymorphic genes with central roles in lymphocyte mediated immune surveillance
are grouped together in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in higher vertebrates …

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II DQB and DRA genes and class I gene of
finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) were investigated by single-strand …

The immune genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are classical examples
for high levels of genetic diversity and non-neutral evolution. This is particularly true for the …
