Liftover of allele names between IPD-IMGT/HLA database versions #350

@lgragert

Description

@lgragert

The CIWD 3.0 dataset includes the following allele names that aren't being recognized by pyARD:

A*01:159
A*02:581
C*03:23
C*04:61

pyARD should have a function for liftover of allele names between nomenclature versions, recognizing all instances of renamed and deleted alleles in the history the IPD-IMGT/HLA.

This feature is important for comparing HLA frequencies between two datasets where the HLADB version was different.

In some datasets the allele names can be simply entered incorrectly where the expression character was carelessly excluded, so there could also be a mode that is tolerant of missing or incorrect expression characters where pyARD attempts to process the allele name with the expression character found in the database version where it is trying to perform the redux (for example, a redux of A*01:159 would not simply fail, but have a mode where it would try to process with the expression character that is found in the HLADB version for the ARD object A*01:159Q).
