TLDR
The Immuno Polymorphism Database was developed to provide a centralized system for the study of polymorphism in genes of the immune system and continues to develop with new tools being added to address scientific developments, and to address user feedback and requests.Abstract:
The Immuno Polymorphism Database (IPD) was developed to provide a centralized system for the study of polymorphism in genes of the immune system. Through the IPD project we have established a central platform for the curation and publication of locus-specific databases involved either directly or related to the function of the Major Histocompatibility Complex in a number of different species. We have collaborated with specialist groups or nomenclature committees that curate the individual sections before they are submitted to IPD for online publication. IPD consists of five core databases, with the IMGT/HLA Database as the primary database. Through the work of the various nomenclature committees, the HLA Informatics Group and in collaboration with the European Bioinformatics Institute we are able to provide public access to this data through the website http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ipd/. The IPD project continues to develop with new tools being added to address scientific developments, such as Next Generation Sequencing, and to address user feedback and requests. Regular updates to the website ensure that new and confirmatory sequences are dispersed to the immunogenetics community, and the wider research and clinical communities.read more

Graph-based genome alignment and genotyping with HISAT2 and HISAT-genotype
TL;DR: This work presents a method named HISAT2 (hierarchical indexing for spliced alignment of transcripts 2) that can align both DNA and RNA sequences using a graph Ferragina Manzini index, and uses it to represent and search an expanded model of the human reference genome.

TL;DR: A single-cell atlas of the maternal–fetal interface reveals the cellular organization of the decidua and placenta, and the interactions that are critical for placentation and reproductive success, and develops a repository of ligand–receptor complexes and a statistical tool to predict the cell–cell communication via these molecular interactions.
