Provides a computational framework for B cell clones identification from adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-Seq) datasets. Three models are included (identical, hierarchical, and spectral) which perform clustering among sequences of B cell receptors (BCRs, also referred to as Immunoglobulins, (Igs)) that share the same V gene, J gene and junction length.
