Correction to: BMC Evol Biol

After publication of our article [1] we were notified that a few duplicate sentences were included on Figure 3 and Figure 4 legends.

Extra sentence removed from Figure 3 legend:

  • The genomic region analyzed is given at the top of each plot (exons are labeled 1 through 4)

Extra sentence removed from Figure 4 legend:

  • The distance from the core SNP (at zero) is displayed on the x-axis and the EHH values are shown on the y-axis

Also, in the sentence “In humans, MHC is a gene-dense region that spans ∼4 Mbs on the short arm of chromosome 6 and contains over 200 genes [113]”, “Mbs” was originally missing.

The original article has been corrected.
