Abstract excerpt
Genomic regions that play a role in parasite defense are often found to be highly variable, with the major histocompatibility complex serving as an iconic example. Single nucleotide polymorphisms may represent only a small portion of this variability, with Indel polymorphisms and copy number variation further contributing. In extreme cases, haplotypes may no longer be recognized as orthologous. Understanding the...
