Associations between MHC class II variation and phenotypic traits in a free-living sheep population

W. Huang, K. L. Dicks, K. Ballingall, S. E. Johnston, A. Sparks, K. Watt, J. Pilkington, J. Pemberton

The paper examines associations between MHC class II variation and phenotypic traits in Soay sheep, finding links with immunoglobulin levels but not with body weight or parasite egg count.

MHC class IIa haplotypes derived by high throughput SNP screening in an isolated sheep population

K. L. Dicks, J. M. Pemberton, K. T. Ballingall, S. E. Johnston

The paper identifies a SNP panel to impute MHC class IIa haplotypes in Soay sheep, enabling large-scale genotyping and analysis of haplotype diversity.

Age-dependent selection on MHC class 2 variation in a free-living ruminant

W. Huang, K. L. Dicks, J. D. Hadfield, S. E. Johnston, K. T. Ballingall, J. M. Pemberton

This study examines MHC class II variation in Soay sheep, finding haplotype-specific effects on fitness and suggesting balancing selection and differing mechanisms between juveniles and adults.
