Introgression from Domestic Goat Generated Variation at the Major Histocompatibility Complex of Alpine Ibex

English version České info

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a crucial component of the defense against pathogens, contains the most polymorphic functional genes in vertebrate genomes. The extraordinary genetic variation is generally considered to be ancient. We investigated whether a previously neglected mechanism, introgression from related species, provides an additional source of MHC variation. We show that introgression from domestic goat dramatically increased genetic variation at the MHC of Alpine ibex, a species that had nearly gone extinct during the 18th century, but has been restored to large numbers since. We show that Alpine ibex share one of only two alleles at a generally highly polymorphic MHC locus with domestic goats and that the chromosomal region containing the goat-type allele has a signature of recent introgression. Our finding contradicts the long-standing view that ancient trans-species polymorphism is the sole source of the extraordinary genetic variability at the MHC. Instead, we show that in Alpine ibex introgression generated genetic diversity at a MHC locus. Our study supports the view that loci favoring genetic polymorphism may be susceptible to adaptive introgression from related species and will encourage future research to identify unexpected signatures of introgression.
