multiUNItoGLS {HLAtools}

Translate Multiple UNIFORMAT Strings to GL Strings

Description

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

Usage

multiUNItoGLS(UniformatArray, prefix = "HLA-", pre = TRUE)

Arguments

UniformatArray

A data frame or vector of UNIFORMAT formatted strings. If 'UniformatArray' is a data frame with more than one column, the first column should contain only identifiers. If 'UniformatgArray' is a vector, it should contain only UNIFORMAT strings.

prefix

A character 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 'UniformatArray' in which the UNIFORMAT data have been converted to GL String format. If a 'UniformatArray' was a data frame, a data frame is returned. If 'UniformatArray' was a vector, a vector is returned.

Note

This function does not return the GL String "?" operator, as the "?" operator has no cognate in UNIFORMAT.
