Package: bio-ting
ting - T cell receptor interaction groupingting is a tool for clustering large scale T cell receptor repertoires by antigen-specificitySynopsisting [options] -t sample.tsv -r reference.tsv -k kmer.tsv -o output.tsvOptionsRequired InputThe user must provide a list of CDR3b sequences.
For compatibility reasons the tab seperated table of TCR sequences required for gliph is supported, too.

    --tcr_sequences tcr_sequences   The format of the table is tab delimited, expecting only the first
                                    column. The header is optional, but if included only use column
                                    names as shown in the example.

    --kmer_file K-MER_FILE          The k-mer file holds all 2-, 3- and 4-mers considered for local
                                    clustering. If file does not exist it will automatically be
                                    generated.

    --reference                     Reference file of naive CDR3 amino acid sequences in fasta-format.
                                    Used as control set by Fisher's exact test.

Optional Input



    --use_structural_boundaries     If set, the first and last three amino acids will be included
                                    in kmer counting and global clustering.

    --no_global                     No global clustering will be performed.

    --no_local                      No local clustering will be performed.

    --min_kmer_occurence            Only kmers which occure at least min_kmer_occurences times in the
                                    sequence sample set will be taken in account. Default is 3.

    --max_p_value                   p-value threshold for identifying significant motifs by fisher exact test

    --gliph_minp                    probability threshold for identifying significant motifs by gliph test

    --stringent_filtering           Only TCRs starting with a cystein and ending with phenylalanine will be
                                    used (IGMT definition of CDR3 region). Default: False

    --kmers_gliph                   If set kmers are identified by the non-deterministic approach as implemented by gliphInstallting can be run from source or installed viaPyPIorbiocondaPiPI:pip install bio-tingconda:conda install -c bioconda bio-tingExampleExample repertoires can be obtained fromrepertoires.tar.gzincluded in theexample_data-folderReferences have been created by the authors ofgliph(Glanville et al.).ting --tcr_sequences R205-L01-D704D504.tsv --reference reference.fasta --kmer_file R205-L01-D704D504_kmers.tsv -o R205-L01-D704D504_results.tsvCitationFor citation please refere to our preprintRapid T cell receptor interaction grouping with ting.
