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...

Turns out...just like in the antibody heavy chain repertoire, germline variants in the immunoglobulin lambda and kappa loci influence the composition of light chain B cell receptors!
Way to go Eric @e-engelbrecht1.bsky.social !!!!

Germline polymorphism in the immunoglobulin kappa and lambda loci explain variation in the expressed light chain antibody repertoire
Variation in antibody (Ab) responses contributes to disease outcomes and therapeutic responsiveness, the determinants of which remain incompletely understood. This study demonstrates that polymorphism...

A Broad Survey and Functional Analysis of Immunoglobulin Loci Variation in Rhesus Macaques
Rhesus macaques (RMs) are a vital model for studying human disease and invaluable to pre-clinical vaccine research, particularly for the study of broadly neutralizing antibody responses. Such studies ...
