Recognition of pathogens relies on the diversity of immune receptor proteins. Recent experiments that sequence the entire immune cell repertoires provide a new opportunity for quantitative insight into naturally occurring diversity and how it is generated. The generation process is implemented via a series of stochastic molecular events involving gene choices and random nucleotide insertions between, and deletions from, genes. I will describe how we can quantify the origins of diversity in these sequence and characterize selection in the somatic evolutionary process that leads to the observed receptor diversity. http://www.phys.ens.fr/~awalczak/cv.html Aleksandra WALCSAK [
