Abstract excerpt
T cell receptors (TCR) orchestrate adaptive immunity, yet the complex, repetitive architecture of the TCR loci has impeded systematic characterization of human genetic variation in the genes encoding the TCR. Using public long-read sequencing data from the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium and All of Us consortia spanning 2719 donors, we build a near-complete map of common alleles in TCR V, D, and J genes,...
