MHC haplotype frequencies in the Mauritian cynomolgus macaque population. (A) The frequencies of the seven most frequent haplotypes (founding haplotypes) and of the recombinant haplotypes in the 750 animals studied here. (B) The frequencies of intact and recombinant MHC haplotypes observed in our sample. The haplotypes are grouped in categories as a function of the number of recombinations they present: intact haplotypes (H_rec0) have no recombination, and recombinant haplotypes (H_rec(h)) can be deduced from founding haplotypes by assuming a variable number (h = 1−3) of recombinations
