HLAfreq: Download and combine HLA allele frequency data
Wells, D. A.; McAuley, M.
Show abstract
The Allele Frequency Net Database contains publicly available data on human immune gene frequencies for different populations from a variety of sources. We introduce a python package HLAfreq to download, combine, and analyse this data. In particular, HLAfreq can combine multiple datasets and/or prior knowledge to improve allele frequency estimates and produce credible intervals. We demonstrate these features using real world data to visualise allele frequencies and compare populations. HLAfreq is hosted at www.github.com/Vaccitech/HLAfreq/ with documentation and detailed examples.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
