GLstring_genes

This function processes a specified column in a data frame that contains GL strings. It separates the GL strings, identifies the HLA loci, and transforms the data into a wider format with loci as column names.

Usage

GLstring_genes(data, gl_string)

Arguments

data

A data frame

gl_string

The name of the column in the data frame that contains GL strings

Value

A data frame with GL strings separated, loci identified, and data transformed to a wider format with loci as columns.

Examples

file <- HLA_typing_1[, -1]
GL_string <- data.frame("GL_string" = HLA_columns_to_GLstring(
  file,
  HLA_typing_columns = everything()
))
GL_string <- GL_string[1, , drop = FALSE] # When considering first patient
result <- GLstring_genes(GL_string, "GL_string")
print(result)
