Extreme MHC class I diversity in the sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus); selection patterns and allelic divergence suggest that different genes have different functions

…and 3,500(!) in sedge warbler (https://t.co/zESomS22uY). But most of that variation in other species represents genetic variation WITHIN individual #MHC gene copies (loci). We show that the larks have at least 14 loci, compared to 16, 17, and 33 for the 3
