This release incorporates all commits to main branch since the previous release (i.e., improved documentation, no code updates), and includes updated HLA sequence DB files (15 April 2025); we also provide a new HG38 reference with the HLA locus on chromosome 6 masked out. *We encourage all users to update all HLA sequence databases before using HLAminer (see details in README) and document their updates (i.e., timestamp) for reproducibility.

This release incorporates all commits to main branch since the previous release (i.e., only to documentations, no code updates), and includes updated HLA sequence files; we encourage all users to update all HLA sequence databases before using HLAminer (see details in README).

-Ability to stream the (.sam) sequence alignment output of modern read aligners, directly into HLAminer.
-Initial support for predicting HLA types from long nanopore reads such as those from Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Pacific Biosciences.
-Better information/sub-routine/date tracking in HLAminer

-More concise HLA allele summary in HLAminer_HPTASR.csv and HLAminer_HPRA.csv (associated .log is unchanged and lists all predictions)
-Keeps top two [highest-scoring by HLA group] predictions per gene and only the 'P' designated allele when the summary include HLA Sequences reported to have the same antigen binding domain.
-For the original output, refer to the HLAminer_v1-2.pl included in the ./bin directory
-A prediction example from MCF-7 PacBio RNA-seq reads is also provided
