GIANT: GL string code-Integrated Allele Name Translation

In HLAtools: Toolkit for HLA Immunogenomics

GL string code-Integrated Allele Name Translation

Description

Calls updateGL() to translate the HLA allele names in a vector or data frame between two IPD-IMGT/HLA Database release versions.

Usage

GIANT(data, transFrom, transTo)

Arguments

data	A data frame or vector of HLA allele name character string data. Allele names in vectors must include locus prefixes. Data frames must include column headers identifying a single locus for the allele names in that column.
transFrom	A dot-formatted character string identifying the IPD-IMGT/HLA Database version (e.g. 3.58.0) under which the HLA data were generated.
transTo	A dot-formatted character string identifying the IPD-IMGT/HLA Database version (e.g. 2.25.0) to which which the HLA data are to be translated.

Value

A data frame or vector of HLA allele name data in the 'transTo' release.

Note

GIANT() will ignore the first two columns of BIGDAWG-formatted data frames, which include non-HLA data. All columns in non-BIGDAWG-formatted data frames are expected to contain HLA allele names.

Examples

GIANT(c("A*01:01:01:01","DOA*01:01:01:01"),"3.56.0","2.20.0")
updsHLAdata <- GIANT(sHLAdata,"3.56.0","2.25.0")
