GLstring_genotype_ambiguity: GLstring_genotype_ambiguity

Description

This function processes GL strings in the specified columns of a data frame to retain only the first genotype ambiguity, optionally retaining the remaining ambiguities in a separate column with "_ambiguity" appended. The function ensures that genes have been separated from the GL strings prior to execution; otherwise, an error will be thrown if a "^" is detected in the GL strings.

Usage

GLstring_genotype_ambiguity(data, columns, keep_ambiguities = FALSE)

Value

A data frame with the first genotype ambiguity retained in the original columns. If keep_ambiguities is TRUE, the remaining ambiguities are placed in separate columns.

Arguments

data

A data frame

columns

The names of the columns in the data frame that contain GL strings

keep_ambiguities

A logical value indicating whether to retain the remaining ambiguities in separate columns with "_genotype_ambiguity" appended to the original column names. Default is FALSE.

Examples

HLA_type <- data.frame(
  sample = c("sample1", "sample2"),
  HLA_A = c("A*01:01+A*68:01|A*01:02+A*68:55|A*01:99+A*68:66", "A*02:01+A*03:01|A*02:02+A*03:03"),
  HLA_B = c("B*07:02+B*58:01|B*07:03+B*58:09", "B*08:01+B*15:01|B*08:02+B*15:17"),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
