From: The major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) class IIB region has greater genomic structural flexibility and diversity in the quail than the chicken

Figure 1

Comparative gene map of quail and chicken Mhc region and locations of the genetic markers PM1 to PM3. The map shows the comparison of the 180 kb Coja haplotype 1 sequence (AB078884: Shiina et al 2004) and the 92 kb chicken B12 haplotype sequence (AL023516: Kaufman et al 1999). Black and gray boxes indicate the Mhc class I and class IIB loci respectively. White boxes indicate other genes. The labeled vertical arrows indicate the locations of the newly designated genetic markers PM1 – PM3.
