repgenHMM: a dynamic programming tool to infer the rules of immune receptor generation from sequence data

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: The diversity of the immune repertoire is initially generated by random rearrangements of the receptor gene during early T and B cell development. Rearrangement scenarios are composed of random events-choices of gene templates, base pair deletions and insertions-described by probability distributions. Not all scenarios are equally likely, and the same receptor sequence may be obtained in several...
