cord-005550-qrrdi667	Mayer, F	Non-neutral evolution of the major histocompatibility complex class II gene DRB1 in the sac-winged bat Saccopteryx bilineata	2007-05-23		.txt	text/plain	5002	286	52	title: Non-neutral evolution of the major histocompatibility complex class II gene DRB1 in the sac-winged bat Saccopteryx bilineata Thus, the data are consistent with the hypothesis that recombination gives rise to new alleles at the DRB locus of the sac-winged bat, and these are maintained in the population through balancing selection. We analysed the antigen-binding region of the MHC class II gene DRB of the sac-winged bat Saccopteryx bilineata by sequencing cloned PCR products. In this study, we describe the genetic diversity within exon 2 of the MHC class II gene DRB, and discuss the role of recombination and selection in generating and maintaining high levels of genetic diversity in colonies of the sac-winged bat. Variation at the DRB1 locus; evidence of recombination/ gene conversion Ten alleles were detected within the main sample of 79 individuals from the La Selva population.	./cache/cord-005550-qrrdi667.txt	./txt/cord-005550-qrrdi667.txt
