Geneticists are interested in finding genes associated with disease. Because of widespread
health disparities, race is a variable that is often said to be relevant in this context. The idea …

The application of bioinformatics to vaccine research and drug discovery has never been so
essential in the fight against infectious diseases. The greatest combat of the 21st century …

We have updated the catalogue of common and well‐documented (CWD) human leukocyte
antigen (HLA) alleles to reflect current understanding of the prevalence of specific allele …

In histocompatibility testing some genotype ambiguities are almost always resolved into the
genotype with the most common alleles. To achieve unambiguous assignments additional …

Molecular differences between HLA alleles vary up to 57 nucleotides within the peptide
binding coding region of human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes, but it is still …

The allelic and haplotypic diversity of the HLA‐A, HLA‐B, and HLA‐C loci was investigated
in 852 subjects from five sub‐Saharan populations from Kenya (Nandi and Luo), Mali …

In this paper, we present a study of genetic variation in sub-Saharan Africa, which is based
on published and unpublished data on fast-evolving (hypervariable region 1 of …

The difference in sizes of conserved stretches of DNA sequence within the major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) in human individuals constitutes an underappreciated …

The genes coding for the main molecules involved in the human immune system–
immunoglobulins, human leucocyte antigen (HLA) molecules and killer‐cell immunoglobulin …

Although Africa is the origin of modern humans, the pattern and distribution of genetic
variation and correlations with cultural and linguistic diversity in Africa have been …
