Motivation
The rapid advancements in immune repertoire sequencing, powered by single-cell technologies and artificial intelligence, have created unprecedented opportunities to study B cell evolution at a novel scale and resolution. However, fully leveraging these data requires specialized software capable of performing inter- and intra-repertoire analyses to unravel the complex dynamics of B cell repertoire evolution during immune responses.
Results
Here, we present AntibodyForests, software to infer B cell lineages, quantify inter- and intra-antibody repertoire evolution, and analyze somatic hypermutation using protein language models and protein structure.
Availability and implementation
