Analysis Workflows

The receptor_utils documentation has walkthroughs for using germline sets with IgBLAST and MiXCR.

Use the OGRDB REST API V2 for programmatic access.

Mouse-specific resources: Usage guidePublication

IGH sets contain V, D and J sequences. IGK and IGL sets for each strain contain V sequences only: use these with the IGKJ and IGLJ sets which contain Js for all strains.
