The repertoires per subject after clonal analysis can be found in the subdirectory clonal_analysis/define_clones/all_reps_clone_report/repertoires.
Additionally, html reports summarizing the results are provided:
A full description of the pipeline results can be found on the Output section of the nf-core/airrflow website.
Number of reads for each of the samples and number of sequences left after performing sequence assembly and alignment to reference data. The full table can be found under Table_sequences_assembly.
Number of sequences for each of the samples after each of the downstream filtering and clonal analysis steps. The full table can be found under Table_sequences_assembled.
The V gene usage (in percentage) in each of the samples is represented below. All plots and tables can be found here.
Gene family usage is normalized by the number of clones.
The V gene usage (in percentage) in each of the samples is represented below. All plots and tables can be found here.
