HLA-VBSeq is an HLA calling tool developed to infer the most likely HLA types from high-throughput sequencing data. However, there is still room for improvement in specific genetic groups because of the diversity of HLA alleles in human populations. Here, we present HLA-VBSeq v2, a software application that makes use of a new Japanese HLA reference panel to enhance calling accuracy for Japanese HLA class-I genes. Our analysis showed significant improvements in calling accuracy in all HLA regions, with prediction accuracies achieving over 99.0, 97.8, and 99.8% in HLA-A, B and C, respectively.
HLA-VBSeq是一种开发用于从高通量测序数据中推断最可能的HLA类型的HLA分型工具。然而,由于人类群体中HLA等位基因的多样性,在特定遗传群体中仍有改进的空间。在此,我们展示了HLA-VBSeq v2,这是一款利用新的日本HLA参考面板来提高日本HLA-I类基因分型准确性的软件应用程序。我们的分析表明,所有HLA区域的分型准确性都有显著提高,HLA-A、B和C的预测准确率分别达到了99.0%、97.8%和99.8%以上。
