Another example of the critical importance of data sharing in immune profiling and the need for data standards in the recent editorial "No Sample Left Behind" in Nature Biotechnology, 33(10). Explicit mention of the AIRR Community May Meeting (through a link to PDF of the schedule) means that not only do people think this is important, but the AIRR Community is starting to see some recognition.

AIRR Community efforts mentioned in Nature

The Nature article "The Cell Menagerie: Human Immune Profiling" by Marissa Fessenden (Nature V. 525, Sep 17, 2015) discusses the importance of vaccines and understanding the immune response. A large number of the groups mentioned in the article are key players in the AIRR Community, including G. Georgiou (UT Austin), Steve Kleinstein (Yale), Lindsay Cowell (UT Southwestern Medical School), and Jamie Scott (Simon Fraser University). An unintended shout out to the AIRR Community's work!
