Abstract:

Knowledge of the expected accuracy of HLA typing algorithms is important when choosing between algorithms and when evaluating the HLA typing predictions of an algorithm. This chapter guides the reader through an example benchmarking study that evaluates the performances of four NGS-based HLA typing algorithms as well as outlining factors to consider, when designing and running such a benchmarking study. The code related to this benchmarking workflow can be found at https://github.com/ nikolasthuesen/springers-hla-benchmark/.
