ImmuneDB
¶
ImmuneDB is a database-backed system to analyze and store large amounts (terabytes) of high-throughput B-cell receptor (BCR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) data. Although it can be used as a stand-alone package for comprehensive repertoire profiling, ImmuneDB excels at acting as a central data store and interface between other tools such as IgBLAST, the Immcantation Framework, MiXCR, and VDJtools via AIRR compliant importing and exporting routines.
Feature Highlights¶
- Relational storage of repertoire data: Sequences, annotations, clones, lineages, and statistics are all stored in a relational database to promote consistent formatting and easy querying.
- Consolidated metadata: Custom study, experiment, and replicate metadata is stored alongside your sequencing data in a non-redundant format to avoid inconsistencies and errors over the life of your study.
- Web interface: ImmuneDB provides a built-in web interface for interactive exploration of data.
- Interoperability: With AIRR compliant input and output methods, ImmuneDB can interface with other software in the AIRR ecosystem. Other output formats include Change-O and VDJtools.
- Proven reliability: ImmuneDB is used by multiple labs to manage terabytes of data comprised of billions of sequences in dozens of projects.
