Antibody numbering software

RIOT - Rapid Immunoglobulin Overview Tool

Have some raw antibody sequences? Find matching germlines, perform numbering and get results in a familiar AIRR format!

RIOT supports both nucleotide and amino acid sequences as well as all major schemes: KABAT, CHOTHIA, MARTIN and IMGT.

MOTIVATION

Antibodies are a cornerstone of the immune system, playing a pivotal role in identifying and neutralizing infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Understanding their structure, function, can provide insights into both the body's natural defenses and the principles behind many therapeutic interventions, including vaccines and antibody-based drugs. The analysis and annotation of antibody sequences, including the identification of variable, diversity, joining, and constant genes, as well as the delineation of framework regions and complementarity determining regions, are essential for understanding their structure and function. Currently analyzing large volumes of antibody sequences for is routine in antibody discovery, requiring fast and accurate tools. While there are existing tools designed for the annotation and numbering of antibody sequences, they often have limitations such as being restricted to either nucleotide or amino acid sequences, reliance on non-uniform germline databases, or slow execution times. Here we present Rapid Immunoglobulin Overview Tool (RIOT), a novel open source solution for antibody numbering that addresses these shortcomings. RIOT handles nucleotide and amino acid sequence processing, comes with a free germline database, and is computationally efficient. We hope the tool will facilitate rapid annotation of antibody sequencing outputs for the benefit of understanding of antibody biology and discovering novel therapeutics.

Germline database

RIOT uses OGRDB as a primary source of germline alleles. Database version as of 22.01.2024 was used. C genes are imported from igblast FTP site fhttps://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/executables/igblast/release/database/ncbi_human_c_genes.tar

Data format

This section describes the fields of numbering result object AirrRearrangementEntry(AA). It is based on AIRR Rearrangement Schema format extended by 7 columns highlighted in the table (bold) and emptied of the unnecessary ones. There are also some differences in fields’ definitions, so the AIRR format specification should be treated only as a loose reference. Description of the original AIRR format can be found here.

Attributes:

1. All fields in the format are required (always present)
2. All fields are nullable, with the exception of sequence_header and sequence

Examples

Sample usage of the software is presented at https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1xKO4udsX5gmnY88eDKWsQaUnHsLuFwVA?usp=sharing. To give users the ability to use RIOT with a custom database, we provide google colab script which showcases how to build a custom germline database for RIOT. It is available at https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1VCStUKgZ1ggi2Xf5YV7hFWHxxzP29BjK?usp=sharing.

Development

RIOT uses prefiltering module written in Rust, which requires some extra steps to install from source.
