How to read the result

  • Sequence: your whole input, coloured by the region each residue falls in: FR1 to FR4 and CDR1 to CDR3. Hover over a stretch to see its domain and region.
  • Flank: grey residues outside every domain. A domain's prefix holds the residues before it, back to the previous domain or the start of the sequence (a leader, or the linker of an scFv); the last domain's postfix holds the residues after it. See Prefix and postfix.
  • Query: the residues of your input that the domain's alignment covers, counted from 1 and inclusive. The APIs report the same range 0-based, as queryStart/queryEnd (query_start/ query_end in Python and the CLI).
  • Confidence: how well the domain aligns to the chain it was assigned, from 0 to 1. A domain below the minimum confidence isn't numbered. See Confidence.
  • Numbering: one box per numbered residue, with its position in the chosen scheme above it. A position with a letter, such as 111A, is an insertion: a residue the scheme has no plain number for. In IMGT CDR3 insertions grow from the middle, so 111A follows 111 and 112A comes before 112; Kabat, Chothia and Martin append them after the number (100, 100A, 100B). Positions missing from the run, such as IMGT 10 in the IGH example, are gaps: the sequence has no residue there.
  • Compare schemes: per domain, where each scheme puts the FR/CDR boundaries for that chain and which residues each scheme calls CDRs. Only IMGT numbers TCR chains.
  • Copy link: a URL holding the sequence and settings; opening it numbers the sequence again. Downloads use the columns and keys of the CLI's immunum number --all-domains output, and the JSON adds each domain's segments.
