Additional file 1: Table S1. of Very high MHC Class IIB diversity without spatial differentiation in the mediterranean population of greater Flamingos
Pairwise Rho statistic [34] (a) and pairwise F ST statistic [37] of MHC Class IIB Exon 2 for alleles called from amino acid sequences for four breeding colonies of Greater Flamingos across the Mediterranean basin. (DOCX 18 kb)
Evidence of gene orthology and trans-species polymorphism, but not of parallel evolution, despite high levels of concerted evolution in the major histocompatibility complex of flamingo species.
17 pages; International audience; The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cornerstone in the study of adaptive genetic diversity. Intriguingly, highly polymorphic MHC sequences are often not more similar within species than between closely related species. Divergent selection of gene duplicates, balancing selection maintaining trans-species polymorphism (TSP) that predate speciation and parallel evolution of species sharing similar selection pressures can all lead to higher sequence similarity between species. In contrast, high rates of concerted evolution increase sequence similarity of duplicated loci within species. Assessing these evolutionary models remains difficult as related…
