Description

While using humanization module at https://biophi.dichlab.org/, I found the sequence of IGKV2-30*01 was different from the sequence from http://www.imgt.org/download/GENE-DB/IMGTGENEDB-ReferenceSequences.fasta-AA-WithoutGaps-F+ORF+inframeP .The second sequence was copied from the biophi web page.

Maybe there are some errors with your human germline V and J gene sequences.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the discrepancy for IGKV2-30*01 in the BioPhi humanization module and compare it with the IMGT reference FASTA linked in the report. Trace which germline V and J gene sequence source the module uses; done means identifying whether the mismatch is an error and correcting or documenting the source discrepancy with regression coverage.
