In collaboration with the AIRR Community, we are pleased to announce the eleventh COVID-19 AIRR-seq study available for searching and download in the AIRR Data Commons and through the iReceptor Gateway. 18.9M annotated sequences from Montague et. al. Dynamics of B-cell repertoires and emergence of cross-reactive responses in COVID-19 patients with different disease severity have been loaded into the VDJServer repository and are now available through the iReceptor Gateway.

The iReceptor team was recently awarded CANARIE Research Data Management funding to extend the iReceptor Gateway. The project, "Towards Systems Immunology: Integrating FAIR data into the iReceptor Platform" will help the iReceptor platform integrate a number of important immunology related data beyond the standard AIRR-seq data, such as single cell sequencing and germline integration. Thank you to CANARIE for their continued support!

Felix Breden, Scientific Director of iReceptor, was interviewed by the Financial Times on the efforts of the iReceptor team to curate multiple studies of COVID-19 patients. In a broad-ranging article on immunogenetics approaches to COVID-19 research, Dr.

From 18:00 August 24 to 08:00 August 25 one of the IPA servers was down. During this time 452 Million sequence annotations from Zvyagin et al "Tracking T-cell immune reconstitution after TCRαβ/CD19-depleted hematopoietic cells transplantation in children" were unavailable. All services are now back on line.
