Balancing Selection at a Frog Antimicrobial Peptide Locus: Fluctuating Immune Effector Alleles?
Balancing selection is common on many defense genes, but it has rarely been reported for immune effector proteins such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). We describe genetic diversity at a brevinin-1 AMP locus in three species of leopard frogs (Rana pipiens, Rana blairi, and Rana palustris). Several...
