[i] All 36 MHC-linked ORs were searched with BLASTNagainst the human EST database and matching ESTs were aligned with the genomic DNA to determine any splice sites. Where splicing events were identified, the corresponding match positions and identities are given for each exon separately. Some ESTs had been derived from pooled libraries, hence the listing of multiple tissues in such cases.
