ABOUT

SHLARC was founded in 2019 by Dr Nicolas Vince at the CR2TI laboratory in Nantes Université. SHLARC aims to provide a free, user-friendly webserver where researchers can access an improved imputation protocol by simply uploading their data and obtaining the best possible HLA imputation.

SHLARC has benefited from Nantes Excellence Trajectory (NExT) support [Nantes Métropole, the Région Pays de Loire, and the European Union (FEDER) under the “Investing in the Future” program]

We gratefully acknowledge our partners who provided biological samples and data for SHLARC.
