-  HLAminer is a pipeline for predicting HLA from shotgun sequence data (ie. whole genome, whole transcriptome/RNA-Seq, exome), at the group and allele resolution.
+  HLAminer is a pipeline for predicting Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) signatures from shotgun sequence data (ie. whole genome, whole transcriptome/RNA-Seq, exome), at the group and allele resolution.
   It supports predictions from a variety of DNA sequencing technologies including those from Illumina, MGI, PacBio and Oxford Nanopore.   
   Predictions are either derived from targeted assembly or direct alignment.
