Immunogenetics of Antarctic pack ice seals in the Ross Sea
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Description
This data set consists of 518 tissue samples obtained from four species of Antarctic pack ice phocid pinnipeds (Weddell seal, Leptonychotes weddellii; crabeater seal, Lobodon carcinophaga; Ross seal, Ommatophoca rossii; leopard seal, Hydrurga leptonyx) collected during a research cruise in the Ross Sea aboard the NSF Icebreaker "Nathaniel B. Palmer" from December 1999 through February 2000. The objective of the study was to document the patterns of molecular genetic variability at important immune system loci (major histocompatibility complex = MHC) in the four phocid pinnipeds that live in the Ross Sea.
A basic description of the multi-disciplinary cruise that supported this research was published as: Ackley, S. F., J. L. Bengtson, P. Boveng, M. Castellini, K. L. Daly, S. Jacobs, G. L. Kooyman, J. Laake, L. Quetin, R. Ross, D. B. Siniff, B. S. Stewart, I. Stirling, J. Torres, P. K. Yochem. 2003. A top-down, multidisciplinary study of the structure and function of the pack-ice ecosystem in the eastern Ross Sea, Antarctica.
