Abstract excerpt
In the canonical model of VDJ recombination, a single diversity (D) gene is incorporated into the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) to produce a T cell receptor δ (TCRδ; TRD) or TCRβ (TRB) chain. But by constructing a dataset of more than 2.7 million TRD CDR3 sequences from 6 species (human, mouse, cattle, sheep, naked mole-rat, and rabbit), we found that incorporation of more than one D gene in the...
