Unveiling inverted D genes and D-D fusions in human antibody repertoires unlocks novel antibody diversity

Abstract Antibodies, essential components of adaptive immunity, derive their remarkable diversity primarily from V(D)J gene rearrangements, particularly within the heavy chain complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR-H3) where D genes play a major role. Traditionally, D genes were thought to recomb...
