Translate GL Strings to UNIFORMAT Strings
Description
A function that translates strings from GL String format to UNIFORMAT format.
Usage
GLtoUN(GLstring, prefix = "HLA-", pre = FALSE)
Arguments
GLstring |
A character string of HLA allele names and operators in the GL String format signifying their relation with one another. |
prefix |
A character string of the desired gene-system prefix (default is "HLA-"). |
pre |
A logical that indicates whether returned allele names should contain 'prefix' (TRUE), or if 'prefix' should be excluded from returned names (FALSE). |
Value
A version of the input string converted to UNIFORMAT format.
Note
For internal use only.
This function does not function with the "?" operator, as the "?" operator has no cognate in UNIFORMAT.
