Polymorphism across an exon-intron boundary in an avian Mhc class II B gene

Twenty-three sequence haplotypes spanning the boundary of the second exon and intron of a red-winged blackbird Mhc class II B gene, Agph-DAB1, are presented. The polymorphism of the exon segment is distributed in two divergent allelic lineages which appear to be maintained by balancing selection. Th...
