This directory contains data for the IPD-NHKIR database. The IPD-NHKIR database is a specialist sequence database for sequences of the non-human major histocompatibility complex. This directory contains the IPD-NHKIR flat files and documentation.
Due to the increasing file size for the NHKIR.dat, the repository now requires the use of the Git LFS tools (https://git-lfs.github.com) which handle files over 100MB. Please use these when cloning to ensure the larger files are downloaded correctly. If Git LFS is not used then large files will contain pointers to the Git LFS location rather than the data required.
The top-level directory contains the following files;
- LICENCE.md - a file detailing the licensing of data included in the IPD-NHKIR Database.
- README.md - This README file
- NHKIR.xml - An XML format file containing data from the IPD-NHKIR Database.
- NHKIR.dat - An EMBL-ENA style format file containing data from the IPD-NHKIR Database, see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ipd/imgt/hla/docs/manual.html for further details.
- NHKIR_gen.fasta - a copy of the file in the fasta directory, includes the DNA sequence for all alleles, which have genomic sequences available.
- NHKIR_nuc.fasta - a copy of the file in the fasta directory, includes the DNA sequence for the CDS sequence of all alleles.
- NHKIR_prot.fasta - a copy of the file in the fasta directory, includes the amino acid sequence for all alleles.

We are strongly opposed to the mirroring of the data contained on our sites, both hla.alleles.org and the IPD-NHKIR Database, and would ask that rather than mirror the information, appropriate links are provided where applicable.
If you intend to distribute a modified version of our data, you must ask us for permission first, please contact hla [at] alleles [dot] org for further details of how modified data can be reproduced.
Where discrepancies have arisen between reported sequences and those stored in the database, the original authors have been contacted where possible, and necessary amendments to published sequences have been incorporated. Future sequencing may identify errors and the WHO Nomenclature Committee would welcome any evidence that helps to maintain the accuracy of the database.
