Software Working Group

To make it easy to do rigorous analysis of AIRR-seq data.

Achievements

We have defined a standard for AIRR-Seq software tools. We will promote this over the next year, as a way of encouraging inter-operation and adoption of AIRR standard protocols by providing community support and publicity to compliant tools. We have also started work (in collaboration with the Germline Database Working Group) on an initiative to assess the biological credibility of an AIRR-Seq repertoire, and to identify common technical errors that can occur during its preparation, which can be heard to spot from read quality annotations and other technical measures commonly available today.

Goals

For 2022-2024:

  • Completion of RepCred
  • Alignment of benchmarking and gold-standards dataset with PrecisionFDA activities
  • Surveying our AIRR-C membership for key focus areas (particular emphasis on industry needs)
  • Supporting the Communications SC industry initiative by drawing on members’ knowledge of the tools marketplace

Long-term vision and how WG products integrate with the AIRR-C mission:

The purpose of our working group is to encourage practices that enable software tools to work, and to work with one another: this dovetails with the AIRR-C mission to improve methods and standards. We aim to promote awareness of AIRR standards within the software tools community, and to provide a forum through which software tools developers can discuss and progress topics of mutual interest.

Resources

  • Compliance Checklist for AIRR Software Tools
  • AIRR Software WG – List of Tools Certified as Compliant
  • Gold standard datasets

Reconnect with the AIRR Data Commons: Your Gateway to Immunology Discoveries

September 19, 2023 By Edel Aron

The AIRR Community continues to spearhead innovation in immunology research with the ever-expanding AIRR Data Commons (ADC). For those unfamiliar, the ADC is a pioneering initiative that enables the sharing of standardized Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) data. This resource hosts a wealth of information about the diverse array of antibody/B-cell and T-cell receptors that […]

September Seminar Series

September 12, 2023 By Edel Aron

The September AIRR-C seminar is fast approaching! On September 28th at 7:00 PST/10:00 EST/16:00 CET, Pieter Meysman of the University of Antwerp will be discussing the applications of TCR-epitope prediction models and Felix Drost of Helmholtz Munich will be discussing the prediction of T cell receptor functionality against mutant epitopes. Register now! The seminar will […]
