Automate your entire analysis from raw NGS reads to paired VH/VL sequences
Single cell hybridoma sequencing and analysis has traditionally been a preferred option when working with full IgG antibodies requiring accurate paring of heavy and light chains. With next generation sequencing the challenge is to find dominant clones per sequencing well and spot contaminations and outliers when having hundreds of NGS fastq files to be analyzed.
Upload
Simply upload de-multiplexed fastq files from your plate based hybridoma sequencing run with simple drag and drop. The fastq files are typically paired-end reads to cover the entire variable domain of the antibody.
Start workflow
The hybridoma workflow will pair reads, trim, annotate, cluster, and extract most dominant sequence per hybridoma. This may result in hundreds of individual processes which can easily be monitored.
Pair chains
Pair VH/VL sequences from each well for further analysis or synthesis. If multiple candidate sequences are extracted per well will all combinations of VH/VL pairs be generated. Missing chains due to poor sequencing will also be handled gracefully.
Add functional data to the antibody pair
Easily associate assay and functional data to each pair of VH/VL sequences. This can be ELISA, binding, titers etc.
Cluster
Cluster regions of individual VH or VL sequences or across the VH/VL pairs to find unique combinations of antibodies. This will allow to remove redundant data but also to find families of sequences which may have similar characteristics.
Align to see diversity
Visualize functional data, sequence diversity, clustering information in the alignment view. Alignment color scheme is adapted from VectorNTI.
Continue your work
Hit-pick your favorite VH/VL pairs based on information of clustering, associated assay data, visual inspection of phylogenetic tree and alignments, found liabilities etc. Sequences can also be sent to synthesis, the build-in database and a lot more.
