IPD - MHC Database

Non-Human Primate (NHP) Sequence Alignments

The alignment tool allows access to sequence alignments from all groups with IPD - MHC. Where discrepancies have arisen between reported sequences and those stored in the database, the original authors have been contacted where possible, and necessary amendments to published sequences have been incorporated into this alignment. Future sequencing may identify errors in this list and the Nomenclature Committee would welcome any evidence that helps to maintain the accuracy of these sequence alignments.

Help with Sequence Alignments

• Specific Sequences are optional, to align specific sequences either enter the common nomenclature or list the allele names separated by a comma.
• The default reference sequence for all genes is automatically provided.
• An alternative sequence may be defined by entering the numerical part of the allele name into the text box.
• If you wish to view a consensus sequence of the alleles selected enter "CONSENSUS" in the box provided.
• You may need to widen your browser to view the output.
• Where discrepancies have arisen between reported sequences and those stored in the database, the original authors have been contacted where possible, and necessary amendments to published sequences have been incorporated into this alignment. Future sequencing may identify errors in this list and the Nomenclature Committee would welcome any evidence that helps to maintain the accuracy of these sequence alignments.

Further more detailed help can be found in the help file which details both the input options and how the alignments are displayed.
