Update a Vector of GL String Code Data to a Desired IPD-IMGT/HLA Database Version

Description

Updates a column from a data frame in GL String Code format to a desired reference database version.

Usage

multiUpdateGL(GLSCs, to, expand = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

GLSCs	A vector of GL String Codes.
to	A character string identifying the IPD-IMGT/HLA Database release version to translate 'GLSCs' to. Values can range from version 1.05.0 to the loaded version of the alleleListHistory object.
expand	A logical that indicates if the lowest-numbered truncated allele names that match truncated allele names in 'GLSCs' should be returned (expand = FALSE), or if a slash-delimited string of all matching full-length allele names should be returned (expand = TRUE). The default value is FALSE.
verbose	A logical that indicates if messages regarding the update process should be sent to the console (TRUE) or not (FALSE). The default value is FALSE.

Value

A version GLSCs (in a data frame) updated to the desired version. NA values are returned in place of alleles that are not present in 'to'.
