I have used BWA to align 2 complete genomes (32X average coverage, Illumina 100bp paired-end). Can anyone advise on the performance of BWA in the HLA region? Is it usual to have low alignment efficiency for chr6:28,400,000-33,500,00 (hg19)?

Are these adequate for alignment on HLA region?

Adequate? More like overkill.
The haplotypes are alternate versions of the same territory.
You'll probably want to strip out the "haploytpes" unless you're sure about what you're doing and that's what you want. Keeping the "randoms" regions as part of your reference is okay; though many just drop these for convenience.
You can re-run without haplotypes or
1) Strip out the haplotypes reads
2) dump these reads from the haplotypes and re-align them to a "haplotype-less" reference.
3) then merge these back.
Repair or re-do.
You can also just leave it and remember to adjust for any automatic analyses done on this regions.Last edited by Richard Finney; 08-20-2012, 12:13 PM.

The complexity of cancer is clearly demonstrated in the diverse ecosystem of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The TME is made up of numerous cell types and its development begins with the changes that happen during oncogenesis. “Genomic mutations, copy number changes, epigenetic alterations, and alternative gene expression occur to varying degrees within the affected tumor cells,” explained Andrea O’Hara, Ph.D., Strategic Technical Specialist at Azenta. “As...-
