title: Data for: A sitewise model of natural selection on individual antibodies via a transformer-encoder

description: This record provides processed B-cell receptor (BCR) data from various studies as described in Matsen IV, F. et al. (2025). A sitewise model of natural selection on individual antibodies via a transformer-encoder. Molecular Biology and Evolution. The software to reproduce the results in that publication can be found here.

BCR sequences are clustered into clonal families and germline sequences are inferred. For each clonal family, phylogenetic tree inference and reconstruction of ancestral sequences are performed. The parent and child sequences of each branch of a tree form a "parent-child pair" (PCP), which are used for training or evaluating models. Only heavy chain sequences are considered in this work.
