Start Here¶
New to LZGraphs? This is your getting started path. Follow it in order and you will have built and queried your first graph in a few minutes.
The path¶
2. Core Ideas¶
What a CDR3 repertoire graph is, what nodes and edges mean, and the two graph families, in plain terms.
3. Which Graph Should I Use?¶
A short decision guide. Pick LZGraph or FlashBackGraph by the question you are asking.
4. Pick a quickstart¶
LZGraph Quickstart for general-purpose, gene-aware analysis, or FlashBackGraph Quickstart for exact diversity and anomaly scoring.
After the basics¶
- Learn by Family: in-depth tutorials for each graph family.
- How-To Guides: task-specific recipes.
- Concepts: the theory behind the graphs.
Prerequisites¶
- Python 3.9+ and NumPy (installed automatically)
- Basic Python knowledge (lists, dicts, loops)
- Some familiarity with CDR3 / TCR / BCR sequences is helpful but not required; the tutorials explain the biology as needed
