tidytcells: standardizer for TR/MH nomenclature

T cell receptors (TR) underpin the diversity and specificity of T cell activity. As such, TR repertoire data is valuable both as an adaptive immune biomarker, and as a way to identify candidate therapeutic TR. Analysis of TR repertoires relies heavily on computational analysis, and therefore it is of vital importance that the data is standardized and computer-readable. However in practice, the usage of different abbreviations and non-standard nomenclature in different datasets makes this data pre-processing non-trivial. tidytcells is a lightweight, platform-independent Python package that provides easy-to-use standardization tools specifically designed for TR nomenclature. The software is open-sourced under the MIT license and is available to install from the Python Package Index (PyPI). At the time of publishing, tidytcells is on version 2.0.0.
