Figure 4.
Different orientation and complexity of segments in the alpha and beta blocks. Intercomparison of the alpha and beta blocks. The orientation of the duplications shown by the small diagonal lines indicates that the segments from the two blocks are in opposite orientation to each other. Large segment duplications corresponding to segments containing MIC (PERB11) and HLA class I members are shown by boxes. For the well-characterized HLA class I and MIC (PERB11) members, transcribed genes are indicated by grey boxes, and pseudogenes and gene fragments are shown by open boxes along the x- and y-axes.
