A New Theory Of MHC Evolution: Beyond Selection On The Immune Genes
I propose a new theory that can explain the evolution and population genetics of vertebrate immune genes, the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC).
The theory is called Associative Balancing Complex evolution (ABC evolution), and it can explain the origin of the large number of genetic disorders associated with the MHC genes in humans, as well as several other remarkable features of these genes…
