Abstract

The fact that most immunoglobulin variable region (IgV) genes sampled are heavily mutated poses, on one hand, a challenge that must be overcome when processing IgV gene sequencing data. On the other hand, many analysis methods based on identifying these mutations can yield very useful insights regarding B cell clonal dynamics and antigen-driven selection. This chapter reviews the problems and solutions posed by SHM, the SHM-based analysis methods, and some insights gleaned from these analyses.
