What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the problem of accurately and efficiently annotating TCR and BCR sequences, providing framework/CDR regions, V/D/J gene calls, constant-region isotype, junction/CDR3 boundaries, and AIRR output for both nucleotide and amino-acid inputs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- TCR/BCR Annotation: Annotates framework and complementarity-determining regions of TCR and BCR sequences.
- IgBLAST Work: Performs the expensive IgBLAST work offline, building a pre-aligned reference database.
- MMseqs2 Mapping: Maps sequences to the reference database using MMseqs2 for fast annotation.
- Use Case: An immunologist uses this Skill to annotate TCR sequences from a bulk RNA-seq experiment, obtaining germline and junction information for each sequence.
