Inference of B cell clonal families using heavy/light chain pairing information

Duncan K. Ralph, Frederick A. Matsen

Next generation sequencing of B cell receptor (BCR) repertoires has become a ubiquitous tool for understanding the antibody-mediated immune response: it is now common to have large…

Using B cell receptor lineage structures to predict affinity

Duncan K. Ralph, Frederick A. Matsen

We are frequently faced with a large collection of antibodies, and want to select those with highest affinity for their cognate antigen. When developing a first-line therapeutic fo…

A Bayesian Phylogenetic Hidden Markov Model for B Cell Receptor Sequence Analysis

Amrit Dhar, Duncan K. Ralph, Vladimir N. Minin +1

The human body is able to generate a diverse set of high affinity antibodies, the soluble form of B cell receptors (BCRs), that bind to and neutralize invading pathogens. The natur…

Per-sample immunoglobulin germline inference from B cell receptor deep sequencing data

Duncan K. Ralph, Frederick A. Matsen

The collection of immunoglobulin genes in an individual's germline, which gives rise to B cell receptors via recombination, is known to vary significantly across individuals. In hu…

Likelihood-based inference of B-cell clonal families

Duncan K. Ralph, Frederick A. Matsen

The human immune system depends on a highly diverse collection of antibody-making B cells. B cell receptor sequence diversity is generated by a random recombination process called…

Consistency of VDJ rearrangement and substitution parameters enables accurate B cell receptor sequence annotation

Duncan K. Ralph, Frederick A. Matsen

VDJ rearrangement and somatic hypermutation work together to produce antibody-coding B cell receptor (BCR) sequences for a remarkable diversity of antigens. It is now possible to s…
