Inferring B cell phylogenies from paired heavy and light chain BCR sequences with Dowser
2023-10-02
Abstract excerpt
Antibodies are vital to human immune responses and are composed of genetically variable heavy and light chains. These structures are initially expressed as B cell receptors (BCRs). BCR diversity is shaped through somatic hypermutation and selection during immune responses. This evolutionary process produces B cell clones, cells that descend from a common ancestor but differ by mutations. Phylogenetic trees inferre...
