Targeted long-read sequencing facilitates phased diploid assembly and genotyping of the human T cell receptor alpha, delta, and beta loci

Abstract excerpt

T cell receptors (TCRs) recognize peptide fragments presented by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and are critical to T cell-mediated immunity. Recent data have indicated that genetic diversity within TCR-encoding gene regions is underexplored, limiting understanding of the impact of TCR loci polymorphisms on TCR function in disease, even though TCR repertoire signatures (1) are heritable and (2)...
