The AIRR-C website now has a calendar plugin that displays meeting times of Working Groups and Sub-committees as well as other interesting events such as AIRR-C-relevant conferences and symposia. The calendar contains the connection details ensuring a low barrier for joining meetings by AIRR-C members.
On behalf of the AIRR Community Executive Sub-committee, we announce the AIRR Community Membership Campaign for 2020-2021. Current AIRR-C members are now considered “Legacy” members until they pay their annual dues. Please support the AIRR Community Membership Campaign today.

SONAR (v3) (Schramm et al. Front Immunol, 2016.) is the first tool certified as compliant with the AIRR-C v1.0 standard for AIRR-Seq software tools.
In an effort to enable rigorous and reproducible immune repertoire research at the largest scale possible, the AIRR-C Software Working Group has established a standard to validate software tools using the AIRR-C Standards and meeting a series of interoperability and quality criteria. Developers interested in certifying their tools should complete the checklist and submit it to the AIRR-C Software Working Group for evaluation and ratification by its members.
More details can be found at the website AIRR Software WG – Guidance for AIRR Software Tools.
All compliant tools will be issued a badge and listed on the website AIRR Software WG – List of Tools Certified as Compliant.
Sharing is caring. This has become a key phrase during the COVID-19 pandemic. The AIRR Community proudly announces a designated channel in our data discussion forum B-T.CR (www.b-t.cr). This public resource will list all current and upcoming studies with immune repertoire data on COVID-19.
If you happen to stumble upon AIRR-seq or single cell RNA-seq data of COVID-19 research projects, please add them to the list found here!
