DRB3 and DRB5

[wshuai294]

Yes. Our group is developing another package to support additional HLA genes. I will let you know once it is finished.

If the short reads cannot afford enough phase information, SpecHLA will use HLA database, genotype frequency, and pedigree information to phase the variants.

[wshuai294]

Great suggestion. We do have some code to extract the sequence of HLA genes from the diploid assembly. I will update SpecHLA to support typing from diploid assembly as soon as possible.

[wshuai294]

Hello, now SpecHLA does not support DRB3 and DRB5.

[bsb2014]

Do you have any plans to make SpecHLA support additional HLAs?

[bsb2014]

How does the SpecHLA phase the variants when only short reads are used? Thanks

[bsb2014]

It would be great if the next release could type HLA using diploid assembly. Thanks

[wshuai294]

Hello,
Thanks for the valuable suggestion. As suggested, we added a module to support HLA typing from diploid assemblies (typing_from_assembly.py). Please see the changes in SpecHLA v1.0.3 or the latest commit.

Hello, shuai,
Are there any other tools can work for long read HLA typing ( nanopore sequencing) ?
if we just add DRB3/4/5 imgt sequence into SpecHLA db , SpeckHLA can detect accurately DRB3/4/5 allele ?

Expecting your reply !
thanks .

Hello,
Sorry for the delayed update. If you add DRB3/4/5 imgt sequence into SpecHLA db, it still needs some revisions in the scripts. I believe it will work well after some adjustments. I wonder do you have any benchmark data (with real data and ground truth)? With real benchmark data, we can add this function quickly.

Also, as I know HLA*LA also can work with nanopore sequencing data. But it might require too many computational resources. You can have a try on it.

Best,
Shuai

Yeah, I have got the benchmark data for A,B,C ,DRB1, DQA1,DQB1, DPA1, DPB1, DRB3/4/5 , that's why I hope you nice guy can support DRB3/4/5 as soon as possible .
could you update specHLA to support DRB3/4/5 this week ?
Thank you very much !!!

[wshuai294]

So great! We will update it very soon. This week is a little challenging but I believe we can finish it next week. Could you please send us the benchmark data, so that we can start to adjust the parameters.
