Immcantation Tutorials
Each tool in the framework has its own documentation site, with detailed usage information and examples. A good starting point to familiarize yourself with the framework is to follow one the tutorials listed here. They are available as Notebooks under the folder training in the Immcantation Bitbucket repository.
The Immcantation Lab container
Information on obtaining and using the container with the notebooks and data needed to follow the Immcantation tutorials can be found within the general guide.
Introduction to B cell repertoire analysis
For a detailed use example for each Immcantation tool follow the tutorial Introduction to B cell repertoire analysis using the Immcantation framework. This tutorial is based on our introductory webinar. It is also available as an R Notebook (intro-lab.Rmd) in the Immcantation repository.
Tutorial
Introduction to B cell repertoire analysis using the Immcantation framework covers:
V(D)J gene annotation and novel polymorphism detection
Inference of B cell clonal relationships
Diversity analysis
Lineage tree reconstruction
Mutational load profiling
Modeling of somatic hypermutation (SHM) targeting
Quantification of selection pressure
Single-cell Analysis
For information on how to process 10x Genomics VDJ data to be analyzed with Immcantation, we offer the introductory tutorial 10x Genomics V(D)J Sequence Analysis with Immcantation. It is available as an R Notebook (10x_tutorial.Rmd) in the Immcantation repository.
Tutorial
10x Genomics V(D)J Sequence Analysis with Immcantation covers:
V(D)J gene annotation
Inference of clonal relationships
V gene Somatic Hypermutation (SHM) frequency
Lineage tree reconstruction
Incorporation of Cell Ranger annotations
In Integration of BCR and GEX data we demonstrate an enhanced analysis by integrating 10x BCR and 10x GEX data. The R Notebook (BCR_Seurat_tutorial.Rmd) is available in the Immcantation repository.
Tutorial
Integration of BCR and GEX data covers:
Integration of BCR data with the GEX Seurat object
Highlight BCR cells in the GEX UMAP
Integration of GEX cell annotations in the BCR data
Identify GEX clusters in the BCR UMAP
Highlight other BCR features in UMAPs
Video presentations
You can watch presentations by Immcantation developers and users in Immcantation’s YouTube channel.
