Library: Quick Start

Basic usage

1. Load TCRs into a data frame

Examples of files you may want to load:

10X: filtered_contig_annotations.csv
Adaptive: Sample_TCRB.tsv
IMGT: Output from MiXCR or other tools

[1]:

import tcrconvert
import pandas as pd

tcr_file = tcrconvert.get_example_path('tenx.csv')
tcrs = pd.read_csv(tcr_file)[['barcode', 'v_gene', 'j_gene', 'cdr3']]
tcrs

[1]:

	barcode	v_gene	j_gene	cdr3
0	AAACCTGAGACCACGA-1	TRAV29/DV5	TRAJ12	CAVMDSSYKLIF
1	AAACCTGAGACCACGA-1	TRBV20/OR9-2	TRBJ2-1	CASSGLAGGYNEQFF
2	AAACCTGAGGCTCTTA-1	TRDV2	TRDJ3	CASSGVAGGTDTQYF
3	AAACCTGAGGCTCTTA-1	TRGV9	TRGJ1	CAVKDSNYQLIW

2. Convert

[2]:

new_tcrs = tcrconvert.convert_gene(tcrs, frm='tenx', to='adaptive')
new_tcrs

WARNING - Adaptive only captures VDJ genes; C genes will be NA.
INFO - Converting from 10X. Using *01 as allele for all genes.

3	AAACCTGAGGCTCTTA-1	TCRGV09-01*01	TCRGJ01-01*01	CAVKDSNYQLIW

Tip: Suppress INFO-level messages by setting verbose=False. Warnings and errors will still appear.

Tip: If your Adaptive data lacks x_resolved/xMaxResolved columns, create them yourself by combining the x_gene/xGeneName and x_allele/xGeneAllele columns. See the FAQs.

AIRR data

Supply the standard AIRR gene column names to frm_cols:

new_airr = tcrconvert.convert_gene(airr, frm = "imgt", to = "adaptive",
                                   frm_cols = c('v_call', 'd_call', 'j_call', 'c_call'))

Custom column names

By default, TCRconvert assumes these column names based on the input nomenclature (frm):

frm='imgt' : ['v_gene', 'd_gene', 'j_gene', 'c_gene']
frm='tenx' : ['v_gene', 'd_gene', 'j_gene', 'c_gene']
frm='adaptive' : ['v_resolved', 'd_resolved', 'j_resolved']
frm='adaptivev2' : ['vMaxResolved', 'dMaxResolved', 'jMaxResolved']

You can override these columns using frm_cols:

1. Load 10X data with custom column names

[3]:

custom_file = tcrconvert.get_example_path('customcols.csv')

custom = pd.read_csv(custom_file)
custom

[3]:

	myVgene	myDgene	myJgene	myCgene	myCDR3	antigen
0	TRAV1-2	TRBD1	TRAJ12	TRAC	CAVMDSSYKLIF	Flu
1	TRBV6-1	TRBD2	TRBJ2-1	TRBC2	CASSGLAGGYNEQFF	Flu
2	TRBV6-4	TRBD2	TRBJ2-3	TRBC2	CASSGVAGGTDTQYF	CMV
3	TRAV1-2	TRBD1	TRAJ33	TRAC	CAVKDSNYQLIW	CMV
4	TRBV2	TRBD1	TRBJ1-2	TRBC1	CASNQGLNYGYTF	CMV

2. Specify names using ``frm_cols`` and convert to IMGT

[4]:

custom_new = tcrconvert.convert_gene(
    custom,
    frm='tenx',
    to='imgt',
    verbose=False,
    frm_cols=['myVgene', 'myDgene', 'myJgene', 'myCgene'],
)
custom_new

[4]:

	myVgene	myDgene	myJgene	myCgene	myCDR3	antigen
0	TRAV1-2*01	TRBD1*01	TRAJ12*01	TRAC*01	CAVMDSSYKLIF	Flu
1	TRBV6-1*01	TRBD2*01	TRBJ2-1*01	TRBC2*01	CASSGLAGGYNEQFF	Flu
2	TRBV6-4*01	TRBD2*01	TRBJ2-3*01	TRBC2*01	CASSGVAGGTDTQYF	CMV
3	TRAV1-2*01	TRBD1*01	TRAJ33*01	TRAC*01	CAVKDSNYQLIW	CMV
4	TRBV2*01	TRBD1*01	TRBJ1-2*01	TRBC1*01	CASNQGLNYGYTF	CMV

Rhesus or mouse data

Use species='rhesus' or species='mouse'

[5]:

new_tcrs = tcrconvert.convert_gene(
    tcrs, frm='tenx', to='imgt', verbose=False, species='rhesus'
)  # or 'mouse'
new_tcrs

WARNING - These genes are not in IMGT for this species and will be replaced with NA:
 ['TRAV29/DV5', 'TRBV20/OR9-2', 'TRGJ1']
