Table 2. We inferred the associations between genome-wide variation and many different TCR repertoire features for productive and non-productive TCR sequences, separately.
For each TCR repertoire feature, we considered the significance of associations using a Bonferroni-corrected threshold established to correct for each TCR feature subtype, the two TCR productivity types, and the total number of SNPs tested (described in detail in Methods).
Repertoire feature(significance threshold) | Model type | Feature subtype | Productivity | Significant association |
---|---|---|---|---|
V(D)J gene usage(5.09 × 10−11) | simple | Each of 60 V-genes | Productive | Yes, for 36 V-genes |
Non-productive | Yes, for 26 V-genes | |||
Each of 2 D-genes | Productive | Yes, for both D-genes | ||
Non-productive | Yes, for both D-genes | |||
Each of 14 J-genes | Productive | Yes, for 7 J-genes | ||
Non-productive | Yes, for 8 J-genes | |||
Amount of nucleotide trimming(9.68 × 10−10) | gene-conditioned | V-gene trimming | Productive | Yes |
Non-productive | Yes | |||
5’ end D-gene trimming | Productive | No | ||
Non-productive | No | |||
3’ end D-gene trimming | Productive | No | ||
Non-productive | No | |||
J-gene trimming | Productive | Yes | ||
Non-productive | Yes | |||
Number of N-insertions(1.94 × 10−9) | simple | V-D-gene N-insertions | Productive | No |
Non-productive | Yes | |||
D-J-gene N-insertions | Productive | No | ||
