mixcr与vdjtools是基于java平台开发的处理从原始序列到定量克隆型的大量免疫组数据的免疫分析软件，在使用前要确保java环境是ok的。
官网下载 Java Runtime Environment，jre是java的运行环境。
java -version #检查java环境是否ok
下载vdjtools并安装，latest release。
vdjtools的可视化依赖于R的一些可视化包，安装所需要的R包。
使用vjtools自带命令安装
java -jar /path to vdjtools/vdjtools-1.2.1.jar Rinstall
也可以在R中手动安装
将分析好的数据转换为vdjtools可识别的格式，上游分析参考使用mixcr构建免疫组库及下游分析
构建分组文件
分组文件应包含所有样本名以及样本所在位置。

strict.paired.scatter
paired.strict.table.collapsed
Clonotype scatterplot. Main frame contains a scatterplot of clonotype abundances (overlapping clonotypes only) and a linear regression. Point size is scaled to the geometric mean of clonotype frequency in both samples. Scatterplot axes represent log10 clonotype frequencies in each sample. Two marginal histograms show the overlapping (red) and total clonotype (grey) abundance distributions in corresponding sample. Histograms are weighted by clonotype abundance, i.e. they display read distribution by clonotype size.
Shared clonotype abundance plot. Plot shows details for top 20 clonotypes shared between samples, as well as collapsed (“NotShown”) and non-overlapping (“NonOverlapping”) clonotypes. Clonotype CDR3 amino acid sequence is plotted against the sample where the clonotype reaches maximum abundance.
CalcPairwiseDistances
Performs an all-versus-all pairwise overlap for a list of samples and computes a set of repertoire similarity measures. At least 3 samples should be provided.
java -jar /path to vdjtools/vdjtools-1.2.1.jar CalcPairwiseDistances -p [sample1.txt sample2.txt sample3.txt or -m metadata.txt] output_prefix
#-p: plot
intersect.batch.aa
Pairwise overlap circos plot. Count, frequency and diversity panels correspond to the read count, frequency (both non-symmetric) and the total number of clonotypes that are shared between samples. Pairwise overlaps are stacked, i.e. segment arc length is not equal to sample size.
ClusterSamples
将CalcPairwiseDistances的输出文本作为输入进行聚类分析。
java -jar /path to vdjtools/vdjtools-1.2.1.jar ClusterSamples -p input_prefix output_prefix
#input_prefix等于 calcpariwiseDistance 中的 output_prefix （不用加后缀）
#-p: plot
#-f: factor
#-n：Specifies if plotting factor is continuous
比如：
java -jar /path to vdjtools/vdjtools-1.2.1.jar CalcPairwiseDistances -p e:/data/ -m metadata.txt e:/results/all
java -jar /path to vdjtools/vdjtools-1.2.1.jar ClusterSamples -p -f "Sex" e:/results/all e:/results/Sex

TestClusters
This routine allows to test whether a given factor influences repertoire clustering. It assesses compactness of samples that have the same factor level and separation between samples with distinct factor levels for the factor specified in ClusterSamples.
（只有ClusterSamples指定了-f时才可以使用该函数，验证factor是如何影响聚类效果的。）
