multiLocusValidation {HLAtools}

Apply validateLocus() to Multiple Loci

Description

Applies validateLocus() to a vector of locus names, validates them against HLAgazeteer$gen, and returns a vector of validated locus names.

Usage

multiLocusValidation(loci, source = "gDNA", verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

loci

A character vector of locus names found in the current HLAgazeteer.

source

A character vector describing the type of alignment 'loci' should be validated against. Allowed options are 'AA' (protein), 'cDNA' (nucleotide) and 'gDNA' (genomic). Only a single value should be provided. The default value is 'gen'.

verbose

A logical value. If 'verbose' = TRUE, messages describing invalid 'loci' or 'source' values are generated. If 'verbose' = FALSE, no messages are generated.

Value

A character vector of locus names that are present in HLAgazeteer$gen.

Note

The results of this check should only be considered valid for the IPD-IMGT/HLA Database release version of the current HLAgazeteer.

Examples

multiLocusValidation(loci = c("DRB1","DPB1","DQB8"))
multiLocusValidation(loci = c("A","B","C","D","Q"))
