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

Figure 2

Phylogenetic tree of the quail and chicken transcribed MhcIIBs. The dendrogram was constructed from the nucleotide sequences of the β1 extracellular domain regions (exon 2) (270 nucleotides in length) of MhcIIB genes for the 16 CojaIIBs shown in figure S1 the chicken haplotypic BLB sequences on B2 B4 B12 B14 B15 B19 and B21 (AJ248576 AJ248583 AJ248572 AJ248581 AJ248585 AJ248577 AJ248584 AJ248579 AJ248580 AJ248582 AJ248574 AJ248586 AJ248575 and AJ248573) and HLA-DRB1 (AF142457). The HLA-DRB1 sequence used as a species outlier roots the tree. Values near the branch-points of the tree indicate the bootstrap values. Bold letters indicate major transcribed CojaIIBs and BLBs.
