Open Source Tool for VH-replacement Products Discovery and Analysis

In this project an open source tool for discovery and analysis of abnormal immunoglobulin genes rearrangements was developed. The main goal is in finding so-called “footprints” - small parts of incompletely rearranged V-segments in IGH genes. Joint usage of publicly available databases, on-line markup IMGT V-Quest and clonal families analyzer Partis allowed to prepare an informative dataset, which was processed via the developed tool. A few dependencies between patient phenotype and footprints statistics were discovered.
