TL;DR: The allele frequency net database is an online repository that contains information on the frequencies of immune genes and their corresponding alleles in different populations that has been used in a wide variety of contexts, including clinical applications, epidemiology and population genetics.

TL;DR: The main features of AFND have been updated to include a new section on ‘HLA epitope’ frequencies in populations, anew section capturing the results of studies identifying HLA associations with adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and one for the examination of infectious and autoimmune diseases associated with KIR polymorphisms—thus extending AFND to serve a new user base in these growing areas of research.

TL;DR: AFND has become more popular in terms of clinical and scientific usage, with a recent increase in genotyping data as a necessary component of Short Population Report article submissions to another scientific journal, and a user-friendly desktop application for HLA and KIR genotype/population data submissions.

TL;DR: A data submission tool to assist users in the collection of the genotypes of the individuals (raw data), facilitating submission of short population reports to Human Immunology, as well as simplifying the submission of population demographics and frequency data is introduced.

TL;DR: The mzQuantML data standard is developed, which can represent quantitative data about regions in two-dimensional retention time versus mass/charge space, peptides, and proteins and protein groups, and it offers limited support for small molecule (metabolomic) data.
