Abstract excerpt
Antigen-activated B cells diversify variable regions of B cell antigen receptors by somatic hypermutation in germinal centers (GCs). The positive selection of GC B cells that acquire high-affinity mutations enables antibody affinity maturation. In spite of considerable progress, the genomic states underlying this process remain to be elucidated. Single-cell RNA sequencing and topic modeling revealed increased...
