Divergent patterns of selection on the DAB and DXB MHC class II loci in **phophorus fishes
Two MHC class II loci, DAB (a classical class II locus) and DXB (putatively a non-classical class II locus), were sequenced in samples of individuals from two populations of swordtail fish, **phophorus multilinea...
