Matings Between Individuals with Similar Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Improve Offspring Survival in the Rainbow Trout (<i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>)

Matings Between Individuals with Similar Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Improve Offspring Survival in the Rainbow Trout (<i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>)

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) consists of genes involved in immune response and molecular discrimination between self and non-self. MHC genes are the most polymorphic in vertebrates. The origin and maintenance of polymorphism in MHC genes in populations is still unresolved. Mechanisms s...
