Adaptive molecular evolution of the Major Histocompatibility Complex genes, <it>DRA </it>and <it>DQA</it>, in the genus <it>Equus</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes are central to vertebrate immune response and are believed to be under balancing selection by pathogens. This hypothesis has been supported by observations of extremely high polymorphism,...
