In collaboration with the AIRR Community and in response to the AIRR Community's call for sharing COVID-19 related AIRR-seq data the iReceptor Project has prepared an iReceptor Turnkey Repository and the project team is prepared to curate public COVID-19 data on behalf of the community.
Two studies out of China have used immune profiling platform developed by 10X Genomics, one of the partners in the iReceptor Plus Consortium, to examine the immune systems of COVID-19 patients at the level of single cells. Liao et al.
The AIRR Community recently made a public call for the sharing of AIRR-seq data. In their call they state "... the AIRR-C hereby calls upon its members, and the wider research community, to share experiences, resources, samples, and data as openly and freely as possible, and to work within their respective systems to break down barriers to achieve this goal, subject to the overarching directives of respect, privacy, and protection for patients and all people.
Below you will find up to date user statistics from 2019, including a graph that shows the distribution of users (by EMail domain) as well as the steady growth of new users on the iReceptor Platform since it first came into operation in 2014. Note the users added in 2020 represent users in January only.
Our service provider, Compute Canada, has restored network services, although there may be short, partial outages at times. All service are back on line.
Our service provider, Compute Canada, is experiencing a network outage, and as of 08:55 Pacific time all iReceptor services are down. We will post an update here when the services are restored.
This fall, the iReceptor team put together some statistics about the iReceptor Gateway's user demographics, by amount, region, and affiliation. If you'd like more information on our demographics, please get in touch at: support@ireceptor.org.
The iReceptor and iReceptor Plus Projects were highlighted at the 2019 Science Gateways Conference, which took place on September 23 - 25, 2019 in San Diego, California.
External network access to our service provider, Compute Canada, will be interrupted for at least 1 hour during a 3-hour network maintenance window from 7:00 - 10:00 pm (PDT) / 10:00 pm - 1:00 am (EDT). The iReceptor Gateway and the iReceptor Public Archive repositories will be unavailable at this time.
463M annotated sequences added from two new studies: Vergani, et al. (37M) "Novel Method for High-Throughput Full-Length IGHV-D-J Sequencing of the Immune Repertoire from Bulk B-Cells with Single-Cell Resolution" and Pogorelyy, et al. (426M) "Precise tracking of vaccine-responding T cell clones reveals convergent and personalized response in identical twins" were added to the iReceptor Public Archive.
