Considerable MHC diversity suggests that the functional extinction of baiji is not related to population genetic collapse.
To further extend our understanding of the mechanism causing the current nearly extinct status of the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer), one of the most critically endangered species in the world, genetic diversity at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II DRB locus was investigated in the bai...
