Trim Colon-Delimited HLA Allele Names by Field
Description
Trims a properly formatted colon-delimited HLA allele name to a desired number of fields.
If an allele name with an expression-variant suffix is truncated, the suffix can be appended to the end of the truncated allele name. If a resolution value greater then the number of fields in the submitted field is specified, the original allele is returned.
Usage
getField(allele, res, append = FALSE)
Arguments
allele |
A character string representing an HLA allele. |
res |
A numeric describing the resolution desired. |
append |
A logical that, when TRUE, appends the expression variant suffix of a full-length allele name to a truncated allele name. The default value is FALSE. |
Value
A version of the 'allele' character string that has been trimmed to 'res' resolution.
Note
For internal HLAtools use.
Examples
