Low genetic diversity of major histocompatibility complex class II DQB gene in wild rhesus and long-tailed macaques in Thailand reflects purifying selection and poses risks to population health
{{output}}
Rhesus (Macaca mulatta) and long-tailed (M. fascicularis) macaques, important for biomedical research, are distributed across Thailand, and hybridization and introgression between species influence genetic diversity, potentially leading to variability in trait... ...
