Database
iReceptor is a data discovery platform that facilitates the curation, analysis and sharing of antibody/B-cell and T-cell receptor repertoires (Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire or AIRR-seq data) and related subject and sample metadata in the AIRR Data Commons from multiple studies across many labs and institutions. We are committed to providing a platform for researchers to increase the value of their data through sharing with the community. This will greatly increase the amount of data available to answer complex questions about the adaptive immune response, accelerating the development of vaccines, therapeutic antibodies against autoimmune diseases, and cancer immunotherapies.
For stats see: iReceptor Gateway – 5.2 billion sequences, 9919 repertoires, and 90 studies across 9 remote repositories including data from 59 disease diagnoses and 45 tissues.
Funding
The development of iReceptor has been historically funded by the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms Program, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund (BCKDF), the Canadian Institute for Health Research, the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 825821), and Simon Fraser University. The iReceptor project was part of the EU/CIHR funded iReceptor Plus Consortium. iReceptor currently receives funding under U24AI177622.
