Recombination, balancing selection and phylogenies in MHC and self-incompatibility genes.

Using a coalescent model of multiallelic balancing selection with recombination, the genealogical process as a function of recombinational distance from a site under selection is investigated. We find that the shape of the phylogenetic tree is independent of the distance to the site under selection....
