Rational design of therapeutic antibodies can be improved by harnessing the natural sequence diversity of these molecules. Our understanding of the diversity of antibodies has recently been greatly facilitated through the deposition of hundreds of millions of human antibody sequences in next-generation sequencing (NGS) repositories. Contrasting a query therapeutic antibody sequence to naturally observed diversity in similar antibody sequences from NGS can provide a mutational roadmap for antibody engineers designing biotherapeutics. Because of the sheer scale of the antibody NGS datasets, performing queries across them is computationally challenging.
