TCR prediction people, the @airr-community.bsky.social machine learning working group is running a competition (either predicting disease state at a repertoire level, or finding disease-associated receptors) Nov-Dec uio-bmi.github.io/adaptive_imm... Good science, good fun, with prizes to boot

I've got a PSA to the T cell receptor researchers of #immunosky to let you know about a new paper we've just got out: doi.org/10.1016/j.im...
This covers how our field is handling the sets of germline #TCR genes used in our research. Maybe not the most glamorous topic, but it’s kind of a big deal…

T‐cell receptor insights: Determinants of Major Histocompatibility Complex class I versus class II recognition
In this study, we analyzed large-scale T-cell receptor (TCR) sequence data to determine whether TCRs preferentially bind to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I (CD8+) or class II (CD4+) ep....

Heads up TCR and immunoglobulin researchers: a nice piece keeping you updated on the efforts undertaken to make sure the TR/IG nomenclatures we use make sense
1/6 🧬 NEW COMMENTARY 🧬
Let’s talk about the challenges in immunoglobulin (IG) & T cell receptor (TR) gene nomenclature in the era of modern genomics.
A 🧵 on why it’s time to rethink how we name these genes—and what it means for immunogenetics.

In preparation for #AAI #immunology2025 I’ve designed these super cute labels for #mAcademia nuts - thanks Peters lab for helping out with the labelling!
Find them at booths #535 & #537 with @iedb.bsky.social @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social @hipcproject.bsky.social @airr-knowledge.bsky.social
