Tip
MiXCR utilases libraries in .json format (see https://github.com/repseqio for details).
Note
In some cases when using an external library mixcr will try to establish connection with NCBI over the internet.
Compiled IMGT library file for MiXCR can be downloaded at https://github.com/repseqio/library-imgt/releases. In order to use the library put the .json
library file to ~/.mixcr/libraries
folder, to the directory from where mixcr is started or to libraries/
subfolder of mixcr installation folder.
Tip
Use mixcr -v
