Sequence functionality represents the number of functional sequences divided by the total number of sequences. Sequence diversity is defined as the number of unique sequences divided by the number of functional sequences. Each clonotype includes sequences that use the same VH gene, and that have a highly homologous CDR-H3 and an identical CDR-H3 length. Clonotypic diversity is defined as the number of clonotypes divided by the number of functional sequences.
