Abstract excerpt
The reliable identification of IGHD genes within human immunoglobulin heavy chains is challenging with up to one third of rearrangements having no identifiable IGHD gene. The short, mutated IGHD genes are generally assumed to be indistinguishable from the N-REGIONS of non-template encoded nucleotides that surround them. In this study we have characterised N-REGIONS, demonstrating the importance of nucleotide...
