updateAlleleNames - Update IGHV allele names
Description¶
updateAlleleNames
takes a set of IGHV allele calls and replaces any
outdated names (e.g. IGHV1-f) with the new IMGT names.
Usage¶
updateAlleleNames(allele_calls)
Arguments¶
- allele_calls
- vector of strings respresenting IGHV allele names.
Value¶
Vector of strings respresenting updated IGHV allele names.
Note¶
IGMT has removed IGHV2-5*10
and IGHV2-5*07
as it has determined they
are actually alleles 02
and 04
, respectively. The updated allele
names are based on IMGT release 2014-08-4.

Examples¶
# Create a vector that uses old gene/allele names.
alleles <- c("IGHV1-c*01", "IGHV1-f*02", "IGHV2-5*07")
# Update the alleles to the new names
updateAlleleNames(alleles)
