The alignment tool provides access to pre-compiled alignments for individual HLA genes and sequence features (e.g. specific exons and introns), or alignments of commonly sequenced regions (e.g. exons 2+3).
The IPD team are currently working on a new version of the alignment tool based on some of the recent developments utilised in the IPD-MHC and IPD-NHKIR projects. To try the new version of the tool please click the following link.
Numbering of the nucleotide positions in the genomic alignments depends on the length of the 5'UTR in the locus reference. If an alternative reference is used that differs through presence of insertions or deletions this numbering may not be accurate.
