A multi-ethnic reference map of T cell receptor germline diversity reveals evidence of natural selection on alpha chain genes

Abstract T cell receptors (TCR) orchestrate adaptive immunity, yet the complex, repetitive architecture of the TCR loci has impeded systematic characterization of human genetic variation in the genes encoding the TCR. Using public long-read sequencing data from the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium and All of Us consortia spanning 2719 donors, we build a near-complete map of common alleles in TCR V, D, and J genes, revealing amino acid variation at almost every position within V genes.

Results From a total of 65 individuals recovered from single interments and a commingled ossuary associated with the Brick Chapel at St. Mary’s (c.1636–1730), we selected 50 individuals for genetic analysis. We generated genome-wide data for 49 of these individuals at 1.24 million variable DNA positions, with a median per-individual average chromosomal coverage of 1.16× (range: <0.01×–4.13×) (Data S7A).
