• Domestication does not narrow MHC diversity in Sus scrofa 

      Moutou, K. A.; Koutsogiannouli, E. A.; Stamatis, C.; Billinis, C.; Kalbe, C.; Scandura, M.; Mamuris, Z. (2013)
      The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a multigene family of outstanding polymorphism. MHC molecules bind antigenic peptides in the peptide-binding region (PBR) that consists of five binding pockets (P). In this ...
    • Mitochondrial phylogeography of the European wild boar: the effect of climate on genetic diversity and spatial lineage sorting across Europe 

      Vilaca, S. T.; Biosa, D.; Zachos, F.; Iacolina, L.; Kirschning, J.; Alves, P. C.; Paule, L.; Gortazar, C.; Mamuris, Z.; Jedrzejewska, B.; Borowik, T.; Sidorovich, V. E.; Kusak, J.; Costa, S.; Schley, L.; Hartl, G. B.; Apollonio, M.; Bertorelle, G.; Scandura, M. (2014)
      Aim Climate changes in the past had a deep impact on the evolutionary history of many species and left genetic signatures that are often still detectable today. We investigated the geographical pattern of mitochondrial DNA ...
