Learning the statistics and landscape of somatic mutation-induced insertions and deletions in antibodies.
Affinity maturation is crucial for improving the binding affinity of antibodies to antigens. This process is mainly driven by point substitutions caused by somatic hypermutations of the immunoglobulin gene. It also includes deletions and insertions of genomic material known as indels. While the land...
