An Interface for Immune Receptor and HLA Gene Reference Data

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.0.0

Provides a consistent interface for downloading, storing, and accessing immune receptor (TCR/BCR) and HLA sequences from IMGT, IPD-IMGT/HLA, and OGRDB (AIRR-C). Supports export to popular analysis tools including MiXCR, TRUST4, Cell Ranger, and IgBLAST. This package serves as a core dependency for immunogenomics packages, ensuring reliable and high-quality sequence access with local caching for reproducibility.
