GATHeR: Graph-based Accurate Tool for Immunoglobulin HEavy- and Light-chain Reconstruction
Recovering full-length, paired B-cell receptor (BCR) sequences from scRNA-seq reads remains difficult, especially in naive and memory B cells where immunoglobulin transcripts are sparse. Current metho...

Our collaborative paper on #Nanopore sequencing is now available on #BioRxiv. Among several new variants, we characterize a large duplication in the IGHC region, suggesting non-canonical class switching between the duplicated isotypes in #Bcells.
