GranthamDist (original) (raw)

This package contains two perl scripts and corresponding distance matrixes to calculate amino acid sequence divergence among alleles in a pairwise manner or among all alleles of an individual. The scripts were specifically written to calculate divergence between alleles of MHC/HLA immune genes.
