AI Article Synopsis

  • The AIRR Community is a group that helps standardize how to collect and share data on B-cell and T-cell receptors, which are important for our immune system.
  • They created a special data system called the AIRR Data Commons to help researchers easily find and use this data.
  • This system includes tools for better organizing, searching, and analyzing the data, which can lead to new discoveries about how our immune system works.

Article Abstract

The Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) Community is a research-driven group that is establishing a clear set of community-accepted data and metadata standards; standards-based reference implementation tools; and policies and practices for infrastructure to support the deposit, curation, storage, and use of high-throughput sequencing data from B-cell and T-cell receptor repertoires (AIRR-seq data). The AIRR Data Commons is a distributed system of data repositories that utilizes a common data model, a common query language, and common interoperability formats for storage, query, and downloading of AIRR-seq data. Here is described the principal technical standards for the AIRR Data Commons consisting of the AIRR Data Model for repertoires and rearrangements, the AIRR Data Commons (ADC) API for programmatic query of data repositories, a reference implementation for ADC API services, and tools for querying and validating data repositories that support the ADC API. AIRR-seq data repositories can become part of the AIRR Data Commons by implementing the data model and API. The AIRR Data Commons allows AIRR-seq data to be reused for novel analyses and empowers researchers to discover new biological insights about the adaptive immune system.

Decoding fertility behaviour of married women in Zambia: A multipronged analysis of bio-demographic, socio-economic and intermediate factors.

PLOS Glob Public Health

January 2025

Demography and Population Studies Programme, Schools of Public Health and Social Sciences, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Despite national efforts and a decrease in total fertility rate, Zambia's fertility remains high compared to global and regional averages. While previous research has examined the influence of bio-demographic and socio-economic factors, it has neglected the role of overlooked intermediate variables such as age at first marriage, contraception use, and abortion. This study investigated the influence of these variables, while controlling for bio-demographic and socio-economic factors, on women's fertility behaviour in Zambia.

Importance: A high infection burden in early childhood is common and a risk factor for later disease development. However, longitudinal birth cohort studies investigating early-life infection burden and later risk of infection and antibiotic episodes are lacking.

Objective: To investigate whether early-life infection burden is associated with a later risk of infection and systemic antibiotic treatment episodes in childhood.

The adaptive immune system generates a diverse array of B-cell receptors through the processes of V(D)J recombination and somatic hypermutation. B-cell receptors that bind to an antigen will undergo clonal expansion, creating a Darwinian evolutionary dynamic within individuals. A key step in studying these dynamics is to identify sequences derived from the same ancestral V(D)J recombination event (i.

Introduction: No national recommendation for antibiotic prophylaxis for planned caesarean section in Sweden exists. Swedish delivery units have chosen different strategies. Some units routinely administer antibiotic prophylaxis to all women for whom a caesarean section is planned, while other units give prophylactic antibiotics to risk groups only.
