HLA diversity and signatures of selection in the Maniq, a nomadic hunter-gatherer population in Southern ThailandNARA Subscribed
The Maniq, a small and isolated nomadic hunter-gatherer population from the rainforests of Southern Thailand, offer a unique context for investigating how demographic history, genetic drift, and pathogen-driven selection shape human leucocyte antigen (HLA) diversity. Using high-coverage whole-genome data from 21 individuals (12 unrelated), we genotyped HLA alleles with HLA-HD and T1K, identifying 32 alleles in classical and 14...
Polymorphic MHC loci in an asexual fish, the amazon molly ( Poecilia formosa ; Poeciliidae)NARA Subscribed
Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) encode molecules that control immune recognition and are highly polymorphic in most vertebrates. The remarkable polymorphisms at MHC loci may be maintained by selection from parasites, sexual selection, or both. If asexual species show equal (or higher) levels of polymorphisms at MHC loci as sexual ones, this would mean that sexual selection is not necessary to explain the hi...
