AIRR Community Special Event: “Response to COVID-19”

Due to the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for rapid scientific progress, the Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) Community of The Antibody Society held a special event focused on AIRR-sequencing data and COVID-19. The virtual meeting provided recent analyses of the B- and T-cell receptor repertoires of COVID-19 patients. In addition, explored a key objective of the AIRR Community in the context of the pandemic: How the scientific response to the COVID-19 pandemic might be leveraged to promote the implementation of standards for AIRR-seq data.
