Abstract excerpt
Long-read sequencing promises to unravel the complexity of polymorphic immune genes including HLA, KIR, IG, and TCR, yet existing tools fall short in accuracy and scope. Here, we present SpecImmune, the first unified computational framework to simultaneously genotype these genes alongside the intricate CYP family from long-read data. Employing an iterative graph-based haplotype reconstruction algorithm,...
