Abstract excerpt
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotype influences the immune response to pathogens and transplanted tissues; accurate HLA genotyping is critical for clinical and research applications. Sequence-based HLA typing is limited by the cost of Sanger sequencing genomic DNA (gDNA) and resolving cis/trans ambiguities, hindering both studies correlating high-resolution genotype with clinical outcomes, and...
