Table of changed/deleted HLA alleles — deleted

The IPD-IMGT/HLA database contains a list of alleles in the database that were once deleted (because, for example, they were later discovered to be identical to an existing allele) or changed (for example, their sequence was renamed). This conversion table lists all the old alleles and their new equivalents.

Usage

deleted_changed

Format

`deleted_changed`

A data frame with 275 rows and 3 columns:

allele_old: allele name that was deleted/changed
allele_new: current allele name
date_changed: date change was made

Details

The new names (and dates of change) have been parsed from a description of the change contained in the IPD-IMGT/HLA allele list. This makes it easier to programmatically convert deleted/changed alleles without having to manually look up the new designation.

N.B. The deleted alleles list is updated from time to time with new releases of the IPD-IMGT/HLA database (though relatively infrequently; definitely not every release). It's possible the conversion table in this package is based on an older version.
