Comparison of the representative gene content of the human and the cy0333 MCM full genomic MHC regions. All protein-coding genes plus a subset of nonclassical MHC-I and MHC-II pseudogenes (MHC-V, MHC-W, MHC-K, etc.) and noncoding alleles of otherwise coding genes (Mafa-B19Ps*01:01:01:01, etc.) are shown for the human genome reference GRCh38 (left) and cy0333 (right). Protein-coding genes are shown in black font, and all pseudogenes and nonfunctioning alleles are shown in gray font. The class I A region is highlighted in yellow; the class I B region is highlighted in orange; the class III region is highlighted in blue; and the class II region is highlighted in green. Both sequences are equivalently scaled and presented from telomeric genes at the top to centromeric genes at the bottom. Gene sequences associated with the telomeric to centromeric sense strand are displayed to the right of each line, and those associated with the antisense strand are displayed to the left. The relative position in megabases for both sequences is shown on the left.
