Abstract excerpt
Adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-Seq) offers the possibility of identifying and tracking B cell clonal expansions during adaptive immune responses. Members of a B cell clone are descended from a common ancestor and share the same initial V(D)J rearrangement, but their B cell receptor (BCR) sequence may differ due to the accumulation of somatic hypermutations (SHMs). Clonal relationships are...
