tcr-bcr-analysis

Overview

Analyze T-cell receptor (TCR) and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoires from bulk or single-cell sequencing data for immunology research, vaccine development, and cancer immunotherapy.

Tool type: mixed | Primary tools: MiXCR, VDJtools, Immcantation, scirpy

Skills

Skill Description
mixcr-analysis V(D)J alignment and clonotype assembly from sequencing data
vdjtools-analysis Repertoire diversity metrics and sample comparison
immcantation-analysis BCR phylogenetics and somatic hypermutation analysis
scirpy-analysis Single-cell TCR/BCR analysis with Scanpy integration
repertoire-visualization Clone tracking, diversity plots, and network visualization

Example Prompts

  • "Assemble TCR clonotypes from my FASTQ files"
  • "Calculate Shannon diversity and clonality for my repertoire"
  • "Find shared clonotypes between samples"
  • "Analyze BCR somatic hypermutation patterns"
  • "Integrate VDJ data with my scRNA-seq analysis"
  • "Track clonal expansion between timepoints"
  • "Create a circos plot of V-J gene usage"

Requirements

# MiXCR
conda install -c bioconda mixcr

# VDJtools (requires Java)
wget https://github.com/mikessh/vdjtools/releases/download/1.2.1/vdjtools-1.2.1.zip
