| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order analyze the diversity of the T cells (repertoire), based on the information of the receptor (TCR) sequence of individual T cells obtained by the next generation sequencer, we constructed computational methods to clarify the hidden structure of immune repertoires.
A low dimensional structure of the data was extracted by projecting the data into a low dimensional space while keeping the similarity relation among TCR sequences. We also succeeded in quantifying the differences between different repertoire samples and in identifying the responsible sequences that make up the sample differences, by using the information-theoretic measure between the density distributions in the low dimensional space. We also confirmed that the relationship between samples obtained by our method not only provides consistent results with previous studies but also stable results even for higher dimensional and more sparse data sets. We also examined the effectiveness of hierarchical statistical models.
