However, due to the immense diversity of the immune repertoire, identification of condition relevant TCR CDR3s from total repertoires has mostly been limited to either \u201cpublic\u201d CDR3 sequences or to comparisons of CDR3 frequencies observed in a single individual. A methodology for the identification of condition-associated TCR CDR3s by direct population level comparison of RepSeq samples is currently lacking.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present a method for direct population level comparison of RepSeq samples using immune repertoire sub-units (or sub-repertoires) that are shared across individuals. The method first performs unsupervised clustering of CDR3s within each sample. It then finds matching clusters across samples, called immune sub-repertoires, and performs statistical differential abundance testing at the level of the identified sub-repertoires. It finally ranks CDR3s in differentially abundant sub-repertoires for relevance to the condition. We applied the method on total TCR CDR3\u03b2 RepSeq datasets of celiac disease patients, as well as on public datasets of yellow fever vaccination. The method successfully identified celiac disease associated CDR3\u03b2 sequences, as evidenced by considerable agreement of TRBV-gene and positional amino acid usage patterns in the detected CDR3\u03b2 sequences with previously known CDR3\u03b2s specific to gluten in celiac disease. It also successfully recovered significantly high numbers of previously known CDR3\u03b2 sequences relevant to each condition than would be expected by chance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conclude that immune sub-repertoires of similar immuno-genomic features shared across unrelated individuals can serve as viable units of immune repertoire comparison, serving as proxy for identification of condition-associated CDR3s.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12859-021-04087-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]],"date-time":"2021-03-25T09:05:37Z","timestamp":1616663137000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Clustering based approach for population level identification of condition-associated T-cell receptor \u03b2-chain CDR3 sequences"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Dawit A.","family":"Yohannes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katri","family":"Kaukinen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kalle","family":"Kurppa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P\u00e4ivi","family":"Saavalainen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9195-9003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dario","family":"Greco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"4087_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2567.2011.03527.x","volume":"135","author":"J Benichou","year":"2012","unstructured":"Benichou J, Ben-Hamo R, Louzoun Y, Efroni S.
