VgeneRepertoire.org identifies and stores variable genes of immunoglobulins and T-cell receptors from the genomes of jawed vertebrates

The VgeneRepertoire.org platform (http://vgenerepertoire.org) is a new public database repository for variable (V) gene sequences that encode immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor molecules. It identifies the nucleic and amino acid sequences of more than 20,000 genes, providing their exon location in either the contig, scaffold, or chromosome region, as well as locus information for more than 100 jawed vertebrate taxa whose genomes have been sequenced. This web repository provides support to immunologists interested in these molecules and aids in comparative phylogenetic studies.
