Accessing AFND from external websites
Users can link the different searches available on the website from external sites by using a reference code (i.e., hla_selection, hla_locus, hla_allele, etc).
For example, a user wishing to list all populations that contain the A*01:01 allele may write:To include additional criteria in the same query, users can simply add an ampersand (&) to the link and the additional criteria. E.g. hla_region=Asia Note: If you are using this facility please cite our database in your website.
