Abstract excerpt
To estimate the species-specific mutation rates at the DRB1 locus in humans and chimpanzee, we analyzed the nucleotide sequence of a 37.6-kb chimpanzee chromosomal segment containing the entire Patr-DRB1*0701 allele and the flanking nongenic region and we compared it with two corresponding human sequences containing the HLA-DRB1*070101 allele using the sequence of HLA-DRB1*04011 as an outgroup. Because the...
