Dominant sequences of human major histocompatibility complex conserved extended haplotypes from HLA-DQA2 to DAXX.

abstract：:Because of the stochastic way in which lineages sort during speciation, gene trees may differ in topology from each other and from species trees. Surprisingly, assuming that genetic lineages follow a coalescent model of within-species evolution, we find that for any species tree topology with five or more species, the...
