Figure 3. Bayesian phylogenetic reconstruction for MHC class II DRB alleles from Mustela nivalis and other species in Mustelidae, Felidae, and Canidae. Numbers near nodes are posterior probability values. Sequences from M. nivalis obtained in this study are in bold. GenBank accession numbers of previously published nucleotide sequences are in parentheses. Clades in Mustelidae are indicated by capital letters (A–G) to the right of the tree. The scale bar at the bottom shows branch length in substitutions per site. Abbreviations for species names are as follows: Cafa, Canis familiaris; Cala, Canis latrans; Calu, Canis lupus; Enlu, Enhydra lutris; Febi, Felis silvestris bieti; Feca, Felis catus; Fesi, Felis silvestris; Gugu, Gulo gulo; Meme, Meles meles; Muit, Mustela itatsi; Mulu, Mustela lutreola; Musi, Mustela sibirica; Nevi, Neovison vison; Tata, Taxidea taxus; Zaca, Zalophus californianus.
