From: Similar patterns of genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium in Western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) and humans indicate highly conserved mechanisms of MHC molecular evolution

Fig. 1

Map of the human and chimpanzee MHC region showing average physical distances between the 7 loci under study in both species. The distances between loci (in Kb = kilobases) slightly vary between the two species but they have the same order of magnitude. ~ 80 Kb stands for “physical distance between DQB1 and DRB1 is about 80 Kb”
