Convert a vector of HLA alleles to a GL String

Source: R/extract_alleles.R
vec_to_gl.Rd

vec_to_gl() constructs a GL String from a character vector of HLAs, as well as some metadata (namespace, version/data).

Usage

vec_to_gl(allele_list, namespace = "hla", version_or_date = NULL)

Arguments

allele_list

a character vector of HLA alleles.

namespace

Specification of the HLA nomenclature system. Defaults to "hla".

version_or_date

Specification of the version of the namespace used, or the date the GL String was constructed. If not specified, uses today's date as the default.

Value

A valid GL String.

Examples

vec_to_gl(c("A*02:302", "A*23:26/A*23:39", "B*44:02:13", "B*49:08"))
#> [1] "hla#2024-12-22#HLA-A*02:302+HLA-A*23:26/A*23:39^HLA-B*44:02:13+HLA-B*49:08"
vec_to_gl(
  allele_list = c("HLA-A*02:69", "HLA-A*23:30"),
  namespace = "hla", version_or_date = "2018-06"
)
#> [1] "hla#2018-06#HLA-A*02:69+HLA-A*23:30"
