Full-resolution HLA and KIR gene annotations for human genome assemblies

Ying Zhou,
Li Song,

Abstract: The Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) genes and the Killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors (KIR) genes are critical to immune responses and are associated with many immune-related diseases. Located in highly polymorphic regions, they are hard to study with traditional short-read alignment-based methods. Although modern long-read assemblers can often assemble these genes, using existing tools to annotate HLA and KIR genes in these assemblies remains a nontrivial task. Here, we describe Immuannot, a new computat… Show more
