From: High intralocus variability and interlocus recombination promote immunological diversity in a minimal major histocompatibility system

Figure 5

Allelic networks of MH class II variation (n = 101 individuals). Figure shows allelic variability in the pattern of non-synonymous substitutions across exon 2 of (a) MH class IIα and (b) MH class IIβ, the immunologically-active region of the two genes; (c) Composite MH network constructed from phased genotype data. Note the presence of reticulation in the MH IIβ network, evidence of intralocus recombination [11]. Reticulation is also evident in the composite allele network.
