Beyond MHC: signals of elevated selection pressure on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) immune-relevant loci

Using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as a model system, we investigated whether 18 microsatellites tightly linked to immune-relevant genes have experienced different selection pressures than 76 loci with no obvious association with immune function. Immune-relevant loci were identified as outliers by...
