Sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs

Sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs

Abstract Background In this work, we investigated sequence variation, evolutionary constraint, and selection at the CD163 gene in pigs. A functional CD163 protein is required for infection by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, which is a serious pathogen with major impacts on pig p...
