| Sequences generated from HLA-homozygous-typing, and/or consanguineous, cell |
| lines by the MHC Haplotype Consortium (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/HGP/Chr6/MHC/) |
| and finished according to the Human Genome finishing criteria |
| (http://www.genome.wustl.edu/Overview/finrulesname.php?G16=1) were compared |
| using cross_match (Green, unpublished: an efficient implementation of the |
| Smith-Waterman algorithm (Smith, T.F. and Waterman, M.S. 1981. Identification |
| of common molecular subsequences. J Mol Biol 147, 195-197.)), variations being |
| reported against the PGF cell line sequence contig. |
| (IMGT: http://www3.ebi.ac.uk/Services/imgt/hla/cgi-bin/fetch_cell.cgi?11248) |
| Repeat elements were identified using RepeatMasker (Smit, A.F.A. and Green, P. |
| unpublished data; http://ftp.genome.washington.edu/cgi-bin/RepeatMasker). |
| The for each entry was formed thus so as to be unique: |
| [sequence version no.]_[base position]_[observed mutation] - the first base |
| quoted in 'observed mutation' being that in the 'sequence version'. |
