Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genes play an important role in determining the outcome of organ transplantation and are linked to many human diseases. Because of the diversity and polymorphisms of HLA loci, HLA typing at high resolution is challenging even with whole-genome sequencing data. RESULTS: We have developed a computational tool, HLA-VBSeq, to estimate the most probable HLA alleles at full...
