hla-mapper 4

The polymorphic nature of most of the HLA and KIR genes and the high sequence similarity leads to read mapping bias and genotyping errors.

hla-mapper was designed to minimize these issues. Based on a database of known HLA and KIR sequences, each read pair is scored and addressed to the most likely locus. The final output is a BAM file with reads mapped to the human reference genome (version hg38), allowing any downstream analysis that suites the user. The resulting BAM file is far more reliable than those generated by using BWA, Bowtie2, or other mapping tools directly.
