Completion (with collaborators) of yeast artificial chromosome coverage of a number of loci, including 2 Mb in the Huntington's disease region and 4 Mb in the major histocompatibility complex.

One case of this phenomenon occurs at loci at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) wherein some human alleles are much more closely related to some chimpanzee alleles than they are to other human alleles (Fig. 7).

The human leukocyte antigen system (HLA) is the name of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans. The superlocus contains a large number of genes related to immune system function in humans.
