Total HED-all

HLA Evolutionary Divergence across eight classical loci:
HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DQB1, -DPB1, -DQA1, -DPA1.

Single sample: allele selection

Start typing to search alleles, suggestions appear from the catalogue. You can also type any allele directly (e.g. A*02:01). Leave a locus blank to skip it.

cHED / extended format (comma-separated):

HLA-HED format (tab-separated):

Sample	A1	A2	B1	B2	C1	C2

T1K single-sample TSV (auto-detected, one file per sample):

HLA-A	...	A*01:01	...	...	A*02:01

T1K multi-sample long format (extracted batch CSV):

Sample_ID,Gene,...,Allele_1,Allele_2,...
sample1,HLA-A,...,HLA-A*01:01,...,HLA-A*02:01,...

Class II columns are optional. Missing alleles: blank, ., or NA. Single alleles give HED = 0.

▸ Allele coverage
Locus Full mode sequence ABS-only mode sequence Source (full) Full alleles ABS-only alleles
HLA-A Exon 2+3 (181 AA) ABS only (32 AA) Lenz CWD + IMGT 3.64.0 5820 228
HLA-B Exon 2+3 (181 AA) ABS only (32 AA) Lenz CWD + IMGT 3.64.0 6976 345
HLA-C Exon 2+3 (181 AA) ABS only (32 AA) Lenz CWD + IMGT 3.64.0 5553 129
HLA-DRB1 Full exon 2 (89 AA) ABS only (24 AA) Lenz CWD + IMGT 3.64.0 2717 211
HLA-DQB1 Full exon 2 (89 AA) ABS only (24 AA) Lenz CWD + IMGT 3.64.0 1939 26
HLA-DPB1 Full exon 2 (84 AA) ABS only (17 AA) IMGT 3.64.0 1923 1923
HLA-DQA1 Full exon 2 (90 AA) Full exon 2 (90 AA) IMGT 3.64.0 535 535
HLA-DPA1 Full exon 2 (90 AA) Full exon 2 (90 AA) IMGT 3.64.0 458 458

Full mode: A/B/C, DRB1, DQB1 use Lenz CWD as the primary source; IMGT/HLA 3.64.0 provides fallback coverage for alleles absent from the CWD catalogue. DPB1, DQA1, DPA1 use IMGT 3.64.0 directly (no Lenz FASTA exists for these loci).
ABS-only mode: A/B/C, DRB1, DQB1 are restricted to the Lenz CWD catalogue (no IMGT fallback — matches original Pierini & Lenz 2018 / Chowell 2019 methodology). DPB1 uses 17 ABS positions derived from crystal structures (Dai 2010, Klobuch 2022). DQA1 and DPA1 use full exon 2 in both modes (no published ABS positions for alpha chains). Alleles not in catalogue return NA.
