B cell receptor substitution profile prediction and SPURF with Kristian Davidsen and Amrit Dhar (#20)
April 30, 2018
In this episode Kristian Davidsen and Amrit Dhar present their project called SPURF. SPURF can predict the B cell receptor (BCR) substitution profile of a given clonal family based on a single representative sequence from that family. SPURF works by fitting a tensor regression model to publicly available Rep-seq data.
