Molecular Characterization of MHC Class I Genes in Four Species of the Turdidae Family to Assess Genetic Diversity and Selection

Table 1

Amplification success and genetic diversity within each of the four species of the Turdidae family investigated. MHC class I exon 3 gene size (), the overall number of polymorphic sites per allele repertoire (), and the average number of nucleotide differences (). Nucleotide diversity at all sites: PBR and non-PBR.
