SUMMARY: HLA allele imputation from SNP genotypes has become increasingly useful, but its accuracy is heavily dependent on the reference panels used. HLA-IMPUTER implements HIBAG algorithm for HLA imputation with different population specific reference panels, including a new Han Chinese reference panel derived from 10 689 samples. We provide a convenient platform for researchers to impute HLA alleles and perform association analysis. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: http://wyanglab.org: 3838/RefPanelWebsite/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
