Automated typing of red blood cell and platelet antigens from whole exome sequences

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND Genotyping has expanded the number red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) antigens that can readily be typed, but often represents an additional testing cost. The analysis of existing genomic data offers a cost‐effective approach. We recently developed automated software (bloodTyper) for determination of RBC and PLT antigens from whole genome sequencing. Here we extend the algorithm to whole exome...
