Slot: physical_linkage

In case an experimental setup is used that physically links nucleic acids derived from distinct Rearrangements before library preparation, this field describes the mode of that linkage. All hetero_* terms indicate that in case of paired-read sequencing, the two reads should be expected to map to distinct IG/TR loci. *_head-head refers to techniques that link the 5' ends of transcripts in a single-cell context. *_tail-head refers to techniques that link the 3' end of one transcript to the 5' end of another one in a single-cell context. This term does not provide any information whether a continuous reading-frame between the two is generated. *_prelinked refers to constructs in which the linkage was already present on the DNA level (e.g. scFv).

description: In case an experimental setup is used that physically links nucleic acids
  derived from distinct `Rearrangements` before library preparation, this field describes
  the mode of that linkage. All `hetero_*` terms indicate that in case of paired-read
  sequencing, the two reads should be expected to map to distinct IG/TR loci. `*_head-head`
  refers to techniques that link the 5' ends of transcripts in a single-cell context.
  `*_tail-head` refers to techniques that link the 3' end of one transcript to the
  5' end of another one in a single-cell context. This term does not provide any information
  whether a continuous reading-frame between the two is generated. `*_prelinked` refers
  to constructs in which the linkage was already present on the DNA level (e.g. scFv).
