Background: We have previously sequenced more than 500 kb of the duplicated MHC class I regions in Atlanticsalmon. In the IA region we identified the loci for the MHC class I gene Sasa-UBA in addition to a soluble MHCclass I molecule, Sasa-ULA. A pseudolocus for Sasa-UCA was identified in the noncla...
