Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Adaptive immunity relies on T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables TCR repertoire studies.
  • Existing tools have limitations in accuracy and bias.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an accurate and reliable bioinformatics pipeline for TCR repertoire analysis.
  • To improve the identification of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) sequences.
  • To reduce bias in V/J gene profiling.

Main Methods:

  • Development of TCRklass, an integrated pipeline utilizing a K-string-based algorithm.
  • Testing TCRklass on manually curated and in silico datasets.
  • Application of TCRklass on large human and mouse TCR repertoire datasets.

Main Results:

  • TCRklass demonstrated higher precision and recall rates for CDR3 identification compared to existing tools.
  • The pipeline showed improved reliability in CDR3 identification on large datasets.
  • TCRklass exhibited less biased V/J gene profiling, enhancing repertoire diversity assessment.

Conclusions:

  • TCRklass is a robust and accurate toolkit for TCR repertoire analysis.
  • The pipeline is particularly useful for analyzing short paired-end reads from NGS data.
  • Accurate TCR repertoire analysis is essential for advancing adaptive immunity research.
