Fig. 1

Alignments of amino acid sequences of MHC class I exon 3 and MHC class II exon 2 in the White-tailed Eagle. Dots in the alignments indicate the same amino acid as the top consensus sequence. Amino acid residues under positive selection are marked with red, under negative selection are marked with blue. Positively and negatively selected residues inferred for non-recombinant fragments (sequence partitions identified with GARD analysis) are marked with stars. Large dots () above the alignment indicate peptide-binding residues (PBRs) of humans (according to Saper et al. [46] for class I and Brown et al. [47] for class II) and putative PBRs of non-passerine birds (according to Minias et al. [14]). Spatial variation in the selection parameter (dN – dS) is shown at the top of each alignment
