TCR germline diversity reveals evidence of natural selection on variable and joining alpha chain genes 2250859
A near-complete map of human TCR germline diversity is generated, capturing over 94% of common alleles, and pervasive evidence of pathogen-driven natural selection on TCR genes is found, including diversifying selection across CDR and framework codons.
