Fig. 1

Alignments of MHC class I alleles (a) and MHC class II alleles (b) detected among sampled Snowy Plovers Charadrius nivosus. Alleles with an identical translation of amino acids are shown in a single sequence. Dots indicate identity to the consensus sequence and dashes indicate gaps. Gray boxes indicate the peptide binding regions (PBR) inferred for MHC class I and MHC class II. Intra- and inter-domain contacts are in purple, and main chain binding sites to peptides are in yellow. Sites under positive (+) and negative (−) selection were identified using FUBAR (Murrel et al. 2013; http://www.datamonkey.org/)
