Abstract excerpt
A challenging task when more than one HLA gene is evaluated together by second-generation sequencing is to achieve a reliable read mapping. The polymorphic and repetitive nature of HLA genes might bias the read mapping process, usually underestimating variability at very polymorphic segments, or overestimating variability at some segments. To overcome this issue we developed hla-mapper, which takes into account...
