Abstract excerpt
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes and the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes are critical to immune responses and are associated with many immune-related diseases. Located in highly polymorphic regions, it is difficult to study them with traditional short-read alignment-based methods. Although modern long-read assemblers can often assemble these genes, using existing tools to annotate HLA...
