Abstract excerpt

The difference in sizes of conserved stretches of DNA sequence within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in human individuals constitutes an underappreciated genetic diversity that has many practical implications. We developed a model to describe the variable sizes of stretches of conserved DNA in the MHC using the known frequencies of four different kinds of small (< 0.2 Mb) blocks of relatively...
