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

Table 2

Recombinants detected in Turdidae family MHC class I alleles, parent sequences and breakpoints detected by the recombination detection program (RDP) and the genetic algorithm for recombination detection (GARD), and the RDP analyses.
