    High variability in the MHC class II DA beta chain of the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)

    The diversity of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci was investigated in the brushtail possum, an important marsupial pest species in New Zealand. Immunocontraception, a form of fertility cont...

    Identification of novel major histocompatibility complex class I sequences in a marsupial, the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)

    The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an essential part of the vertebrate immune response. MHC genes may be classified as classical, non-classical or non-functional pseudogenes. We have investigated th...

    Novel alleles in classical major histocompatibility complex class II loci of the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula)

    We have investigated the diversity of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci in the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), an important marsupial pest species in New Zealand. Immunocontraceptive ...

    Multiple Mutations and Gene Duplications Conferring Organophosphorus Insecticide Resistance Have Been Selected at the Rop-1 Locus of the Sheep Blowfly, Lucilia cuprina

    Sequences of the esterase gene αE7 were compared across 41 isogenic (IV) strains of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, and one strain of the sibling species, L. sericata. The 1.2-kb region sequenced includes sit...
