Hierarchical Clustering Can Identify B Cell Clones with High Confidence in Ig Repertoire Sequencing Data

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive immunity is driven by the expansion, somatic hypermutation, and selection of B cell clones. Each clone is the progeny of a single B cell responding to Ag, with diversified Ig receptors. These receptors can now be profiled on a large scale by next-generation sequencing. Such data provide a window into the microevolutionary dynamics that drive successful immune responses and the dysregulation that occurs...
