PG - 3905-3906 LID - 10.1093/bioinformatics/btaa264 [doi] AB - SUMMARY: Bulk RNA sequencing studies have demonstrated that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes may be expressed in a cell type-specific and allele-specific fashion. Single-cell gene expression assays have the potential to further resolve these expression patterns, but currently available methods do not perform allele-specific quantification at the molecule level. Here, we present scHLAcount, a post-processing workflow for single-cell RNA-seq data that computes allele-specific molecule counts of the HLA genes based on a personalized reference constructed from the sample's HLA genotypes. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: scHLAcount is available under the MIT license at https://github.com/10XGenomics/scHLAcount. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press.
