Varia: Prediction, analysis and visualisation of variable genes

2020-12-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Assessing the diversity or expression of variable gene families in pathogens can inform about immune escape mechanisms or host interaction phenotypes of clinical relevance. However, obtaining the sequences and quantifying their expression is a challenge. Here, we present a tool, which based on unique sequence tag similarity between members of a gene family, predicts the domains encoded by the que...
