The orthology of HLA-E and H2-Qa1 is hidden by their concerted evolution with other MHC class I molecules
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Whether MHC molecules undergo concerted evolution or not has been the subject of a long-standing debate.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>By comparing sequences of eight functional homologues of HLA-E from primates and r...
