Molecular evolution of bovine Toll-like receptor 2 suggests substitutions of functional relevance

BACKGROUND: There is accumulating evidence that polymorphism in Toll-like receptor (TLR) genes might be associated with disease resistance or susceptibility traits in livestock. Polymorphic sites affecting TLR function should exhibit signatures of positive selection, identified as a high ratio of no...
