Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the transcribed immunoglobulin kappa (IGK) repertoire of peripheral blood B cells from four individuals from two genetically distinct populations, Papua New Guinean and Australian, using high-throughput DNA sequencing. The depth of sequencing data for each individual averaged 5,548 high-quality IGK reads, and permitted genotyping of the inferred IGKV and IGKJ germline gene segments for each...
