Comparing T-cell receptor (TCR) analysis tools reveals method selection impacts results. This study aids researchers in choosing optimal TCR sequencing data analysis approaches for immune repertoire studies.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics

Background:

  • High-throughput sequencing enables detailed T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire analysis.
  • TCR repertoire studies are crucial for understanding adaptive immunity and antigen receptor diversity in health and disease.
  • Current TCR sequencing data analysis focuses on V(D)J gene identification, CDR3 extraction, and clonality assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically compare 10 state-of-the-art TCR analysis tools.
  • To evaluate tool performance across diverse sample complexities, focusing on clonotype detection, CDR3 identification, and error correction accuracy.
  • To introduce a novel 'clonal plane' strategy for quantifying and comparing sample clonality.

Main Methods:

  • In silico and experimental datasets with known clonalities were utilized.
