Phylogenetic relationships of the giant panda MHC class II DQA alleles. Kimura 2-parameter model was used with bootstrap supported based on 100 bootstrap replicates. Bootstrap values above 50% from the neighbor joining analyses and above 70% from the maximum likelihood analyses are shown below and above the branches, respectively. GenomeDQA1 and genomeDQA2 are from the genomic data. The following sequences were included as outgroups: Homo sapiens (HLA-DQA1, NM_002122) and Homo sapiens (HLA-DQA2, NM_020056).
