Variability with altitude of major histocompatibility complex-related microsatellite loci in goats from Southwest China

G. X. E, Huang, Y. F., Zhao, Y. J., and Na, R. S., Variability with altitude of major histocompatibility complex-related microsatellite loci in goats from Southwest China, vol. 14, pp. 14629-14636, 2015.

We aimed to use microsatellite BM1258 loci of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as an indicator of the influence of genetic diversity of immunity in goats (Dazu Black, Hechuan White, Meigu, and Tibetan goat). In total, 132 animals comprising 50 Dazu Black goats, 24 Hechuan White goats, 34 Meigu goats, and 24 Tibetan goats were examined. Collectively, 18 different alleles and 42 genotypes were found.
