  1. ...of human diseases. Although the macaque major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region shares most features with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region, macaques have an expanded repertoire of MHC class I genes. Although a chimera of two rhesus macaque MHC haplotypes was first published in 2004...
  2. ...sequence,were found in intergenic regions is also in linewith the 25% recent estimate of ‘‘dark matter transcripts’’ obtained by RNA-seq (Ponting and Belgard 2010) and is, however, of considerable interest, given that theMHC region is the most gene-dense region of the human . Their expression was overall...
  3. ...Species-Specific Class I Gene Expansions Formed the Telomeric 1 Mb of the Mouse Major Histocompatibility Complex Toyoyuki Takada 1 , 4 , Attila Kumánovics 2 , Claire Amadou 1 , Masayasu Yoshino 1 , Elsy P. Jones 2 , Maria Athanasiou 3...
  4. ...gene dense part of the class III region, we find long sequence stretches with low recombination rate. We find a high recombination rate in classical loci but also observe a high recombination rate outside classical loci, especially upstream of the Class I region. Jeffreys et al. (2001) determined...
  5. ...methylation, and the heritable basis of epigenetic differences in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The MHC is located on chromosome 6p21.3 and is a particularly polymorphic and gene-dense region, containing genes involved in several aspects of the immune response (Traherne 2008). We focus...
  6. ...) is a gene-dense region of the human on Chromosome 6p21.31. The complex spans ∼4 Mb and covers >120 expressed genes ( The MHC Sequencing Consortium 1999 ). Forty percent of the expressed loci encode proteins with functions related to immune defense. These include the highly polymorphic class I and class...
  7. ...in humans ( Trowsdale 2001 ). They are encoded by large, polymorphic, gene-dense clusters in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), the Leukocyte Receptor Complex (LRC), and the Natural Killer Complex (NKC) found on chromosomes 6p21.3, 19q13.4, and 12p13.1, respectively. The killer immunoglobulin...
  8. ...more gene dense then the macrochromosomes, reaching densities comparable to that of the Fugu ( McQueen et al. 1998 ; Clark et al. 1999 ). Second, the level of conserved synteny between chicken and humans appears to be very high ( Burt et al. 1995 ; Hu et al. 1995 ; Klein et al. 1996 ; Jones et al. 1997...
  9. ...-replicating regions are usually gene dense and contain actively transcribed genes. The fine resolution of replication profile possible with the -tiling arrays allowed us to closely examine how such correlations hold up across contiguous stretches of chromosomes. Intriguingly, the TR50 profile of some regions revealed...
  10. ..., and (6) rate of recombination. Features 1 and 2 are measures of nucleotide substitutions at two classes of “neutral” sites, whereas 4 is a measure of recent mutations. Feature 3 is a measure dominated by deletions in mouse, whereas 5 represents insertions in human. It was found that all six vary...
