Haplotype structures and polymorphisms of dog leukocyte antigen (DLA) class I loci shaped by intralocus and interlocus recombination events

In conclusion, the analysis for the occurrence of gene conversion within the dogDLA class I region revealed intralocus gene conversion tracts in 17 of 27DLA-88 alleles and two of 10DLA-12 alleles, suggesting that intralocus gene conversion has played an important role in expandingDLA allelic variations.
