Ancestral polymorphism of Mhc class II genes in mice: implications for balancing selection and the mammalian molecular clockS V Edwards
Department of Zoology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195, USA
Genetics 146:655-68. 1997..Thus rates of synonymous substitution at Mhc DR genes in mammals appear to be subject to generation time effects in ways similar to those found at other mammalian genes...
Genomics and polymorphism of Agph-DAB1, an Mhc class II B gene in red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus)S V Edwards
Department of Zoology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195, USA
Mol Biol Evol 15:236-50. 1998....
Toward an evolutionary genomics of the avian MhcS V Edwards
Department of Zoology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195, USA
Immunol Rev 167:119-32. 1999....
Perspective: gene divergence, population divergence, and the variance in coalescence time in phylogeographic studiesS V Edwards
Department of Zoology and Burke Museum, University of Washington, Seattle 98195, USA
Evolution 54:1839-54. 2000..Our analyses corroborate recent suggestions that increasing the number of loci is critical to decreasing the uncertainty in estimates of population divergence time...
A 39-kb sequence around a blackbird Mhc class II gene: ghost of selection past and songbird genome architectureS V Edwards
Department of Zoology, University of Washington, Seatle, WA 98195, USA
Mol Biol Evol 17:1384-95. 2000..Thus, this sequence exhibits some of the genomic streamlining expected for avian as compared with mammalian genomes, but is not as densely packed with functional genes as is the chicken Mhc...
Polymorphism across an exon-intron boundary in an avian Mhc class II B geneD Garrigan
Department of Zoology, University of Washington, USA
Mol Biol Evol 16:1599-606. 1999..Additionally, the observation that divergent exon alleles share identical intron sequence supports the conclusion of disassociation of exon and intron evolutionary histories by recombination...
Songbird genomics: analysis of 45 kb upstream of a polymorphic Mhc class II gene in red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus)J S Gasper
Department of Zoology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA
Genomics 75:26-34. 2001..The high gene density of this cosmid confirms similar findings for the chicken Mhc, but the segment duplications and diversity of retroelements resembles mammalian sequences...
Can weighting improve bushy trees? Models of cytochrome b evolution and the molecular systematics of pipits and wagtails (Aves: Motacillidae)G Voelker
Burke Museum, Department of Zoology, Box 353010, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA
Syst Biol 47:589-603. 1998..We suggest that the bushlike nature of many higher-level phylogenies in birds makes estimating the dynamics of DNA evolution less sensitive to tree topology but also less susceptible to improvement via weighting...
Multiple origins of XY female mice (genus Akodon): phylogenetic and chromosomal evidenceH E Hoekstra
Department of Zoology and Burke Museum, University of Washington, Seattle 98195, USA
Proc Biol Sci 267:1825-31. 2000..In addition, this system provides a clear test of the accuracy of phylogenetic methods to reconstruct ancestral states...
