GLstring_expand_longer: GLstring_expand_longer

In immunogenetr: A Comprehensive Toolkit for Clinical HLA Informatics

GLstring_expand_longer

Description

A function that expands a GL string into a longer, more detailed format (also known as an ambiguity table) by separating the string into its components resulting from its hierarchical set of operators, including gene locations, loci, genotypes, haplotypes, and alleles. The function processes each level of the GL string and assigns identifiers for each hierarchical component. The resulting table can be assembled back into a GL string using the function 'ambiguity_table_to_GLstring'.

Usage

GLstring_expand_longer(GL_string)

Arguments

GL_string

A GL string that encodes HLA alleles and their potential ambiguities

Value

A tibble that contains the expanded GL string with separate columns for possible gene locations, loci, genotype ambiguities, genotypes, haplotypes, and alleles, each with associated identifiers

Examples

file <- HLA_typing_1[, -1]
GL_string <- HLA_columns_to_GLstring(file, HLA_typing_columns = everything())
result <- GLstring_expand_longer(GL_string[1])
print(result)
