This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Assessment of single-cell gene expression (scRNA-seq) and antigen receptor sequencing (scVDJ-seq) has been invaluable in studying lymphocyte biology, but current tools are limited. Here, we introduce Dandelion , a computational pipeline for scVDJ-seq analysis. It enables the application of standard V(D)J analysis workflows to single-cell datasets, delivering improved V(D)J contig annotation and the identification of non-productive and partially spliced contigs. We devised a novel strategy to create an antigen receptor feature space that can be used for both differential V(D)J usage analysis and pseudotime trajectory inference. The application of Dandelion improved the alignment of human thymic development trajectories of double positive T cells to mature single-positive CD4/CD8 T cells, with important new predictions of factors regulating lineage commitment. Dandelion analysis of other cell compartments provided novel insights into the origins of human B1 cells and ILC/NK cell development, illustrating the power of our approach. Dandelion is an open access resource ( https//www.github.com/zktuong/dandelion ) that will enable future discoveries.
