immunogenetr - A Comprehensive Toolkit for Clinical HLA Informatics

A comprehensive toolkit for clinical Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) informatics, built on 'tidyverse' <https://tidyverse.tidyverse.org/> principles and making use of genotype list string (GL string, Mack et al. (2023) <doi:10.1111/tan.15126>) for storing and computing HLA genotype data. Specific functionalities include: coercion of HLA data in tabular format to and from GL string; calculation of matching and mismatching in all directions, with multiple output formats; automatic formatting of HLA data for searching within a GL string; truncation of molecular HLA data to a specific number of fields; and reading HLA genotypes in HML files and extracting the GL string.
