ClusTCR2 (version 1.7.3.01)
Identifying Similar T Cell Receptor Hyper-Variable Sequences
with 'ClusTCR2'
Description
Enhancing T cell receptor (TCR) sequence analysis, 'ClusTCR2', based on 'ClusTCR' python program, leverages Hamming distance to compare the complement-determining region three (CDR3) sequences for sequence similarity, variable gene (V gene) and length. The second step employs the Markov Cluster Algorithm to identify clusters within an undirected graph, providing a summary of amino acid motifs and matrix for generating network plots. Tailored for single-cell RNA-seq data with integrated TCR-seq information, 'ClusTCR2' is integrated into the Single Cell TCR and Expression Grouped Ontologies (STEGO) R application or 'STEGO.R'. See the two publications for more details. Sebastiaan Valkiers, Max Van Houcke, Kris Laukens, Pieter Meysman (2021) , Kerry A.
