Accurate annotation of germline immunoglobulin (IG) and T cell receptor (TCR) loci is critical for understanding adaptive immunity. VDJ-Insights provides a user-friendly software package for characterizing these complex immune regions. In addition, it assesses gene segment functionality, identifies recombination signal sequences (RSS), and annotates complementary-determining regions 1 and 2 (CDR1, CDR2). VDJ-Insights achieved over 99% concordance with curated annotations from multiple species, outperforming existing annotation tools. When applied to 95 haplotypes from the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium, VDJ-Insights identified 652 and 275 novel IG and TCR alleles, respectively, highlighting its scalability for large immunogenetic studies.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
