• Allele frequency net: a database and online repository for immune gene frequencies in worldwide populations (2010, methodology): “Additionally, due to the constant increase in the number of alleles identified by molecular methods, the database is periodically updated according to the official nomenclature from latest releases available on the IMGT/HLA and IPD-KIR databases (12,13).”
• IMGT®, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system® (2004, background): “IMGT/MHC-DB hosted at EBI comprises IMGT/HLA for human MHC (or HLA) and IMGT/MHC-NHP, for MHC of non-human primates (26).”
• Peptide binding predictions for HLA DR, DP and DQ molecules (2010, background): “The genes encoding class II molecules are highly polymorphic, as evidenced by the IMGT/HLA database [5] which lists 1,190 known sequences of HLA class II alleles for HLA-DR, HLA-DP and HLA-DQ molecules (Table 1).”
• HLA class I supertypes: a revised and updated classification (2008, methodology): “Up-to-date compilations of MHC sequence data are also readily available in the IMGT database [91].”
• The IPD and IMGT/HLA database: allele variant databases (2014, methodology): “The first version of the IPD-MHC database involved the work of groups specializing in non-human primates (NHP) (32), canines (DLA) (28) and felines (FLA) (41) and incorporated all data previously available in the IMGT/MHC Database (40).”
• Next-Generation Sequencing Technology: Current Trends and Advancements (2023, background): “As technology progresses, NGS is expected to play a pivotal role in areas such as single-cell genomics, long-read sequencing, epigenomics, and multi-omics integration, enabling a deeper understanding of cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and personalized treatment strategies.”
• IPD—the Immuno Polymorphism Database (2012, neutral): “The first release of the IPD-MHC database involved the work of groups specializing in non-human primates, canines (DLA) and felines (FLA) and incorporated all data previously available in the IMGT/MHC database (11).”
• IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system® (2004, methodology): “IMGT/MHC-DB comprises databases hosted at the EBI and includes a database of human MHC allele sequences or IMGT/MHC-HLA (IMGT/HLA), developed by Cancer Research (UK) and maintained by ANRI (London, UK), on the Web since December 1998, and a database of MHC sequences from non-human primates IMGT/MHC-”
