This paper uses a dataset of 192 class I MHC alleles from humans to compare the fixed-sites models, which use structural information to partition the ARS and non-ARS codons, and the random-sites models. The analysis demonstrated the surprising power of the random-sites fishing-expedition models, which were able to distinguish codons at the ARS truly under positive selection from those that are actually highly conserved.

Computer simulation was conducted to investigate the effects of factors such as the size of the tree and sequence divergence on the performance of the likelihood method for detecting positively selected sites. The paper provides practical guidelines about the feasibility of such inference.
