HLA Informatics Group
The HLA Informatics Group (HIG) is a research group at the Anthony Nolan Research Institute that develops, runs and maintains the IMGT (immunogenetics)/HLA (Human leukocyte antigen) Database and the IPD (immuno polymorphism database). The IMGT/HLA Database is a central repository for sequences of the human major histocompatibility complex and currently contains over 5,000 allele sequences, including over 1,800 HLA-B sequences. The group is led by Prof. Steven GE Marsh.
As well as sequence information, the IMGT/HLA Database and the IPD Databases include extensive information regarding the source material that sequences are derived from.[1]
The IMGT/HLA website is the main source to know how many HLA alleles have been discovered.
