TCR prediction people, the @airr-community.bsky.social machine learning working group is running a competition (either predicting disease state at a repertoire level, or finding disease-associated receptors) Nov-Dec uio-bmi.github.io/adaptive_imm... Good science, good fun, with prizes to boot

I've got a PSA to the T cell receptor researchers of #immunosky to let you know about a new paper we've just got out: doi.org/10.1016/j.im...

This covers how our field is handling the sets of germline #TCR genes used in our research. Maybe not the most glamorous topic, but it’s kind of a big deal…

Great work from my dear colleague Marcus Mendes, happy to have been included in this project!

Heads up TCR and immunoglobulin researchers: a nice piece keeping you updated on the efforts undertaken to make sure the TR/IG nomenclatures we use make sense
1/6 🧬 NEW COMMENTARY 🧬
Let’s talk about the challenges in immunoglobulin (IG) & T cell receptor (TR) gene nomenclature in the era of modern genomics.
A 🧵 on why it’s time to rethink how we name these genes—and what it means for immunogenetics.

In preparation for #AAI #immunology2025 I’ve designed these super cute labels for #mAcademia nuts - thanks Peters lab for helping out with the labelling!
Find them at booths #535 & #537 with @iedb.bsky.social @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social @hipcproject.bsky.social @airr-knowledge.bsky.social

Hello world!

Have you heard of the AIRR Knowledge Commons yet? The AKC is being established as an integrated resource immune receptors, repertoires, antigen specificity and germline gene information.

Want to know more? We have recently updated our website: airr-knowledge.org
