Translate UNIFORMAT to GL String
Description
A wrapper function for UNtoGL() which translates strings from UNIFORMAT format to GL String format.
Usage
UNItoGLS(uniformat, prefix = "HLA-", pre = TRUE)
Arguments
uniformat |
A character string of HLA allele names and operators in the UNIFORMAT 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
An version of 'uniformat' converted to GL String format, or FALSE if 'uniformat' is invalid.
Note
This function does not return the "?" operator, as the "?" operator has no cognate in UNIFORMAT.
