HLAtools: Toolkit for HLA Immunogenomics

A toolkit for the analysis and management of data for genes in the so-called "Human Leukocyte Antigen" (HLA) region. Functions extract reference data from the Anthony Nolan HLA Informatics Group/ImmunoGeneTics HLA 'GitHub' repository (ANHIG/IMGTHLA) <https://github.com/ANHIG/IMGTHLA>, validate Genotype List (GL) Strings, convert between UNIFORMAT and GL String Code (GLSC) formats, translate HLA alleles and GLSCs across ImmunoPolymorphism Database (IPD) IMGT/HLA Database release versions, identify differences between pairs of alleles at a locus, generate customized, multi-position sequence alignments, trim and convert allele-names across nomenclature epochs, and extend existing data-analysis methods.
