  1. Abbreviation: MHC, major histocompatibility complex.
  2. Rates of synonymous (Ds) and nonsynonymous (Dn) substitutions (with a Jukes–Cantor correction) across codons of the putative peptide-binding region (PBR) and non-PBR in the Chinook salmon MHC class I-A1 and class II-B1 are indicated. Results of the Z-test for selection across codons of the PBR and non-PBR are also indicated. All error terms are standard errors.
