powerTCR: A model-based approach to comparative analysis of the clone size distribution of the T cell receptor repertoire.

Sequencing of the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is a powerful tool for deeper study of immune response, but the unique structure of this type of data makes its meaningful quantification challenging. We introduce a new method, the Gamma-GPD spliced threshold model, to address this difficulty. This...
