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

Figure 4

Gene duplication models inferred from the reconstructed phylogenetic trees. The labeled arrows indicate the speciation and gene duplication events for the chicken (C) and quail (Q) lineages. Dotted arrows indicate the evolutionary process for the origin of HT2 and HT5. Gray backgrounds indicate quail and chicken MHCIIB structures at the present-day.
