How best to collect and share germline gene repertoires?

Note that the discussion of criteria for inclusion of inferred alleles has been moved to its own topic:

Draft criteria for inclusion of inferred alleles into a germline database

The following set of criteria for including an inferred gene into a database came out of a late-night wine-infused discussion at the AIRR meeting. Thus, it’s not a fully formed proposal, but it could be a starting point for discussion: Sequence must be full length, and included with a peer-reviewed publication The number of unique, productive, un-mutated sequences containing the novel segment must have absolute # significantly above background (≥10 sequences) Constitute a significant % of the …
