UCSC Immunobrowser • Analyze status of Adaptive Immune System • Tracks T-cells based on sequence signature in the T-Cell Receptor Beta • Targeted Next Generation Sequencing generates billions of data points • Can we provide Repertoire-level analysis while preserving Receptor-level detail • Search the literature for clues on T-cell function
Adaptive Immune System • Specific • Receptors to bind exclusively to a pathogen • Diverse • Receptors can be designed to almost any pathogen • Memory • Predesigned receptors are reused for subsequent infections • Self/non-self recognition • T-Cells/B-Cells do not attack healthy self cells
Specific and Diverse Receptors • Each receptor has a unique genome sequence
What do B-cells and T-cells do? http://www.hu.liu.se/ike/forskning/cellbiologi/rosen-anders/rosen/1.264183/Bcell200.jpg http://www.unm.edu/~mpachman/Blood/t_cell_killing_cancer_cell.jpg Sciencephoto.com
Complementarity Determining Regions (CDR) determine binding specificity Tertiary: Secondary: Primary:
Random Receptor Sequence generated through VDJ Recombination • ~1015-1020 Distinct TCR sequences • Diversity generated through: • Combinatorial Joining (left) • Random Nucleotide addition
Clonal Expansion Shapes the Repertoire http://163.16.28.248/bio/activelearner/43/ch43c3.html
What is an Immune Repertoire? • Set of all BCR and TCR sequences in an individual • 1011 B-cells and T-cells
Assay Modified from Warran, et al 2009
High throughput sequencers 454 Titanium IlluminaHiSeq Short reads 2x100bp Paired-end reads High throughput 3 x 109reads Preferred for T-cells • Long reads • ~600bp reads • Medium throughput • 106 reads • Preferred for B-cells
VJ gene segment usage Wang et al, 2010 Robins et al, 2009 Boyd et al, 2009 Weinstein et al, 2009
UCSC Immunobrowser • Takes in annotated sequence data • Generates Repertoire-level visuals • Persistent filters view subsets of a repertoire • Track clonal expansions over multiple samples • Identify aberrant clonal expansions (Blood cancers) • Track clonal expansions (Immune response) • Search literature • RESTfulurls makes sharing easy • (Dev) http://laozi.soe.ucsc.edu:8000
The Future • Motif Finding • Group vs group comparisons • The personal sequencer • Regular TCR/IG sequencing • Integration with Medbook-like service • Detect reoccurence of disease or relapse of autoimmune disease • Know if you’ve got the flu or a cold
