BALDR

BALDR

BALDR is a pipeline tool to build immunoglobulin(Ig)/B cell receptor(BCR) sequences from Illumina single-cell RNA-Seq data. The BALDR offers the following reconstruction methods for human and rhesus macaque: 1. Transcript assembly using all reads with a selected Ig model, 2. Read assembly mapped to Ig loci, and alternatively including unmapped reads. For human sequences only: 1. Read assembly mapping to IMGT V(D)J and C sequences, 2. Reas assembly mapping to the Ig recombinome. For rhesus macaque, it can assemble reads filtered not to match Ig genes. The BALDR pipeline requires the following tools: Trimmomatic 0.32, Trinity v2.3.2, bowtie2 2.3.0, STAR v2.5.2b, samtools v1.3.1, IgBLAST v1.6.1, seqtk 1.2, and Perl 5.
