Abstract excerpt
Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) loci widely known for their role in generation of immune responses by encoding cell-surface heterodimers are often considered to be effective for the purpose of reconstructing human phylogenies due to high degree of polymorphism and less recombination. In the present study, we have made an attempt to study HLA class II loci (DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1) in inferring phylogenetic relationship...
