From: Population-specific recombination sites within the human MHC region
EHH plots of SNP haplotypes for common HLA alleles. Plots covering 1 Mb region with the classical HLA loci/haplotypes used as anchor positions: (a) HLA-A, (b) HLA-C-B and (c) HLA-DRB1 respectively. Positions of recombination sites and their relative sizes are mapped onto the plots as follows: six recombination segments identified by sperm recombinants (Cullen et al., 2002) (highlighted in pink columns) and HapMap-inferred recombination sites (The International HapMap Consortium, 2005) that coincide with EHH drops (highlighted in blue columns). The black bars above each EHH plot represent the density of SNP coverage in the region.
