Understanding genetic diversity in birds using MHC genes and a hypermutable microsatellite as model systems (completed)

Funded by:

Natural History Museum

Description of Project:
The project aims to understand the mode of evolution at microsatellites and MHC genes using passerine birds as model species.

Subprojects:

Subproject 1: “Microsatellite markers – mutations and diversity”

Subproject 2: ”MHC genes in passerine birds – diversity and evolution”
