Table 2 Genetic diversity within our white-tailed deer population (nucleotide diversity and haplotype diversity) and neutrality tests for MHC-DOB for the adult founding population [2003–2007; n = 71 (MHC-DOB extended sequence, 360 bp), 71 (MHC-DOB exon 2, 270 bp)] and the final adult population [2016; n = 119 (MHC-DOB extended sequence, 360 bp), 119 (MHC-DOB exon 2, 270 bp)]. P-values for the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium tests are also included, which shows a statistical significance for heterozygote deficit in MHC-DOB (extended sequence and exon 2) in the 2016 population
