The previously limited throughput of single-cell approaches has recently been overcome by the introduction of multiple next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based platforms. Furthermore, single-cell techniques allow the assignment of additional data types (e.g. cell surface marker expression), which are crucial for biological interpretation. However, the currently available computational tools are not designed to handle single-cell data and do not provide integral solutions for linking of sequence data to other biological data.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Here we introduce sciReptor, a flexible toolkit for the processing and analysis of antigen receptor repertoire sequencing data at single-cell level. The software combines bioinformatics tools for immunoglobulin sequence annotation with a relational database, where raw data and analysis results are stored and linked. sciReptor supports attribution of additional data categories such as cell surface marker expression or immunological metadata. Furthermore, it comprises a quality control module as well as basic repertoire visualization tools.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>sciReptor is a flexible framework for standardized sequence analysis of antigen receptor repertoires on single-cell level. The relational database allows easy data sharing and downstream analyses as well as immediate comparisons between different data sets.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-016-0920-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,4]],"date-time":"2016-02-04T13:07:16Z","timestamp":1454591236000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["sciReptor: analysis of single-cell level immunoglobulin repertoires"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Katharina","family":"Imkeller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter F.","family":"Arndt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hedda","family":"Wardemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian E.","family":"Busse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"920_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"316ra192","DOI":"10.1126\/scitranslmed.aad0522","volume":"7","author":"SF Andrews","year":"2015","unstructured":"Andrews SF, Huang Y, Kaur K, Popova LI, Ho IY, Pauli NT, et al.Immune history profoundly affects broadly protective B cell responses to influenza.
