Can I use already mapped and SNP calling VCF to do OptiType? #21

This is Yijia Li from Yunnan Province Stem Cell Bank, China. We are very interested using your OptiType to do HLA typing. However may I ask if I can use already mapped and SNP calling VCF to do that without using the original fastq file? Thanks very much.

Dear Yijia, It's not possible with OptiType. I suggest you look into HLA*IMP:02, SNP2HLA or HIBAG, but beware the limitations of resolving HLA genotypes from SNP data alone.
