multiGLStoUNI {HLAtools}

Translate Multiple GL Strings to UNIFORMAT

Description

Translate a data frame or a vector of GL Strings to UNIFORMAT strings.

Usage

multiGLStoUNI(GLstringArray, prefix = "HLA-", pre = FALSE)

Arguments

GLstringArray

A data frame or a vector containing GL String formatted data. If 'GLstringArray' is a data frame with more than one column, the first column should contain only identifiers. If 'GLstringArray' is a vector, it should contain only GL Strings.

prefix

A string of the desired locus prefix (default is "HLA-").

pre

A logical. If 'pre' is TRUE, all allele names will be prefixed with 'prefix'. If 'pre' is FALSE, no allele names will be prefixed.

Value

A version of 'GLStringArray' in which the GL String data has been converted to UNIFORMAT format. If a 'GLstringArray' was a data frame, a data frame is returned. If 'GLstringArray' was a vector, a vector is returned.

Note

GL Strings that include the "?" operator will not be translated, as the "?" operator has no cognate in UNIFORMAT.
