#Description:

This program converts the HLA coding from NMDP allele codes to the new nomenclature coding based on the CWD 2.0.0 list of alleles.

##File formats:

The program takes comma-separated input files that have column names. The first column should be individual identifiers marked as ID. Other columns are named locus:name, for example A:harry, DQB1:sweden etc. where the locus is the locus used for the column, and name after that can be anything. Values marked by *X are filled from cell on the left from the marked value. Use 99:99 for now for NaNs.

##Usage:

python HLAConvert your_datafile NMDP_allele_code_file CWD2.0_file output_filename Examples of file formats are provided in the repo.
