Course Description
This course will cover the analysis of B and T cell repertoires  
(adaptive immune receptor repertoires, or AIRR) from high-throughput  
sequencing data using bioinformatics workflows. Topics include  
germline allele assignment, identification of clones, and  
visualisation/analysis of clonal frequencies. The course will also  
cover emerging standards (VDJML, Change-O) in the analysis and  
reporting of Adaptive-immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) data. In  
addition to an introduction to software used, such as IgBLAST, pRESTO,  
Change-O, etc., the course will also provide an introduction to the  
use of Jupyter notebooks for conducting exploratory analyses and the  
Common Workflow Language to automate analyses.

To get a flavour of the techniques and software that will be used in  
the course.
IgBLAST
pRESTO
Change-O
Discussion site: B-T.CR


Target audience
The course was designed for experimentalist and students who want to  
explore adaptive immune repertoires using NGS data.
Individuals that are working - or looking forward to work - in the  
area of T cell or B cell receptor analysis will benefit from attending  
this training course.


At the moment, GTPB has 5 training courses OPEN for applications.
