SCOPer

SCOPer provides a computational framework for the identification of B cell clonal relationships from Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire sequencing (AIRR-Seq) data. It includes methods for assigning clonal identifiers using sequence identity, hierarchical clustering, and spectral clustering. SCOPer is part of the Immcantation analysis framework.
