Table 1 Diversity and divergence estimates of sedge warbler MHC class I exon 3 alleles, alleles with no deletion, 3 bp deletion alleles and 6 bp deletion alleles, the estimates are reported individually as well as combined for all sequence lengths

From: Extreme MHC class I diversity in the sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus); selection patterns and allelic divergence suggest that different genes have different functions
