Intro
- Basic problem: If you have an immune receptor sequence, e.g. antibody or T-Cell receptor, how do you call it?
- Just like for all other nucleotide sequences: We need
- submitted sequences (like Genbank)
- "reference" sequences (like RefSeq)
- genes (like NCBI Genes), i.e. a collection of reference sequences
- and people that sort out this whole mess, the IMGT curators
- IMGT is a 90's generation website, like the genome browser
- Lots of static webpages, e.g. the new year wishes page
IMGT Structure
- The main reference database for immune loci is IMGT.org
- It consists of databases, tools and additional files (e.g. ontology, some notes, etc)
- LIGM-DB: Nucleotide sequences of all kinds. Can be C, V, J, D, or combinations thereof.
- Seems to be pulling in from Genbank and change their annotations slightly with different keywords
- Automatic transformation or manual annotation?
- Looks like they could have a BLAST-based pipeline that annotates the different fragments
- Annotates Genbank sequences with the CVDJ-numbers
- Example: Genbank AF139844
- in IMGT: http://imgt.org/cgi-bin/IMGTlect.jv?query=201+AF139844
- on NCBI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/4732152?report=graph
- Both look very similar, almost identical information
- But IMGT has added the numbers of the VDJ fragments
- Annotations that they add: Ftable
- MHC-DB
- GENE-DB: A list of categorized VDJC sequences and all their alleles
- Naming is <locus><type><subtype>-<positionOnGenome></OrphonIdentifier>*allele
- e.g. IGHV1-18
- -18 means that is is the 18th sequence in this locus. 1 is the subtype of the J sequence, as determined by curators, by phylogenetic similarity (??)
- <positionOnGenome> starts from one and numbers the genes along the chromosome, see genome browser (switch on encode genes)
- Orphons (old paper) seem to be (nonfunctional?) copies of receptors on other chromosomes
- Repertoire: descriptions of loci, genes and 3D-structures
- Web Resources: A mixed bag with explanations on how they curate
- Actually the best starting point
- LIGM-DB: Nucleotide sequences of all kinds. Can be C, V, J, D, or combinations thereof.
