KIRanno

KIRanno

Functional annotation of Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor genotyping data.
Accepts T1K file output and csv for batch analysis, or manual gene entry for single samples.

Single sample: manual gene entry

Check each gene that is present in this individual. Framework genes (FW) and the most common A-haplotype genes (KIR2DL1, KIR2DL3, KIR3DL1, KIR2DS4) are pre-checked as a starting point — uncheck any that are absent. Allele names are optional.

▸ Optional: HLA alleles for KIR–HLA interaction

Provide HLA-C, -B, -A, and optionally HLA-G alleles to compute which inhibitory KIRs have their cognate ligand present. Start typing for suggestions.

HLA-G is the ligand for KIR2DL4. If not entered, KIR2DL4 will show "no data" in the interaction table. HLA-G*01:01 is the most common allele.

Batch: file upload
No file selected
Select KIR files, optionally together with matching T1K HLA files. HLA files are auto-detected and paired to KIR files by sample name.
