Implication

In silico benchmarking demonstrates high-resolution HLA genotyping from RNA sequencing, highlighting improved accuracy and speed for immune profiling and metatranscriptomics.

Key Points

Develop and validate arcasHLA, a computational tool designed to infer high-resolution HLA genotypes rapidly and accurately from RNA-sequencing data.
Benchmarked arcasHLA against established HLA typing algorithms using a gold-standard reference dataset.
Evaluated genotyping accuracy for Class I and Class II HLA genes at two-field resolution.
Assessed performance and applicability on a biological dataset of 447 single-end total RNA samples derived from nasopharyngeal swabs.
Achieved an accuracy rate of 100% at two-field resolution for HLA Class I genes and greater than 99.7% for Class II genes on the gold-standard benchmark.
Outperformed existing in silico tools in both genotyping accuracy and computational speed.
Demonstrated practical utility for HLA typing in complex clinical and metatranscriptome datasets.
