T cell receptors (TCR) play a vital role in the immune system’s ability to recognize and respond to foreign antigens, relying on the highly polymorphic rearrangement of TCR genes. The recognition of autologous peptides by adaptive immunity may lead to the development and progression of autoimmune diseases. Understanding the specific TCR involved in this process can provide insights into the autoimmune process. RNA-seq (RNA sequencing) is a valuable tool for studying TCR repertoires by providing a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of the RNA transcripts. With the development of RNA technology, transcriptomic data must provide valuable information to model and predict TCR and antigen interaction and, more importantly, identify or predict neoantigens. This review provides an overview of the application and development of bulk RNA-seq and single-cell (SC) RNA-seq to examine the TCR repertoires. Furthermore, discussed here are bioinformatic tools that can be applied to study the structural biology of peptide/TCR/MHC (major histocompatibility complex) and predict antigenic epitopes using advanced artificial intelligence tools.
