Full resolution HLA and KIR genes annotation for human genome assemblies
2024-01-23
Abstract excerpt
The HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) genes and the KIR (Killer cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor) genes are critical to immune responses and are associated with many immune-related diseases. Located in highly polymorphic regions, they are hard to be studied with traditional short-read alignment-based methods. Although modern long-read assemblers can often assemble these genes, using existing tools to annotate HLA and...
