AIRR Community Publications

The AIRR Community welcomes collaboration and publication by its Working Group members. The AIRR-C established endorsement process of a manuscript, book chapter, or paper is intended to certify to the greater scientific community that the content of the manuscript is a product of an AIRR-C effort or initiative. Since 2017, the Community has endorsed and published the following 18 book chapters and papers (alphabetized by title):

2023

  • Collins A.M. et al. AIRR-C Human IG Reference Sets: curated sets of immunoglobulin heavy and light chain germline genes (Frontiers, 2023)

2017

  • Rubelt et al. Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire Community recommendations for sharing immune-repertoire sequencing data (Nature Immunology, 2017) reports the Community’s recommendations for a minimal set of metadata that should be used to describe an AIRR-seq data set when published or when deposited in a AIRR-compliant repository.
  • Breden et al. Reproducibility and Reuse of Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire Data (Frontiers in Immunology, 2017) introduced the goals of the AIRR Community Initiative and urged researchers to join our efforts.

The AIRR Community gratefully acknowledges financial support for these publications from The Antibody Society and from the academic institutions of its members.
