 There are additional data repositories that provide access to AIRR-seq data but which
 did not implement the ADC API for programmatic access. Information about some of these
 repositories are provided in a `B-T.CR forum post`_.

++ OGRDB <../ogrdb/ogrdb> provides a list of alleles affirmed by the AIRR Community's 
+  Inferred Allele Review Committee, together with supporting information.
+
++ `VDJbase`_ provides gene usage information derived from a growing base of AIRR-seq repertoires,
+  including inferred genotypes and haplotypes.
