Balancing selection, genetic drift, and human‐mediated introgression interplay to shape MHC (functional) diversity in Mediterranean brown trout

Balancing selection, genetic drift, and human‐mediated introgression interplay to shape MHC (functional) diversity in Mediterranean brown trout

Abstract The extraordinary polymorphism of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes is considered a paradigm of pathogen‐mediated balancing selection, although empirical evidence is still scarce. Furthermore, the relative contribution of balancing selection to shape MHC population structure and...
