Retention of functional variation despite extreme genomic erosion: MHC allelic repertoires in the Lynx genus

BACKGROUND: Demographic bottlenecks erode genetic diversity and may increase endangered species’ extinction risk via decreased fitness and adaptive potential. The genetic status of species is generally assessed using neutral markers, whose dynamic can differ from that of functional variation due to...
