      automated translation of HLA allele names between successive nomenclatures.

AB  - In this brief communication, we describe the Allele Name Translation Tool (antt) 
      and Update NomenCLature (uncl), free programs developed to facilitate the 
      translation of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele names recorded using the 
      December 2002 version of the HLA allele nomenclature (e.g. A*01010101) to those 
      recorded using the colon-delimited version of the HLA allele nomenclature (e.g. 
      A*01:01:01:01) that was adopted in April 2010. In addition, the antt and uncl 
      translate specific HLA allele-name changes (e.g. DPB1*0502 is translated to 
      DPB1*104:01), as well as changes to the locus prefix for HLA-C (i.e. Cw* is 
      translated to C*). The antt and uncl will also translate allele names that have 
      been truncated to two, four, or six digits, as well as ambiguous allele strings. 
      The antt is a locally installed and run application, while uncl is a web-based 
      tool that requires only an Internet connection and a modern browser. The antt 
      accepts a variety of HLA data-presentation and allele-name formats. In addition, 
      the antt can translate using user-defined conversion settings (e.g. the names of 
      alleles that encode identical peptide binding domains can be translated to a 
      common 'P-code'), and can serve as a preliminary data-sanity tool. The antt is 
      available for download, and uncl for use, at www.igdawg.org/software.
