V(D)J recombination is the molecular process by which immune cells shuffle segments of their DNA to create the incredible diversity of antibodies and T-cell receptors needed to recognize virtually any pathogen. During this process, specific DNA segments labeled V (variable), D (diversity), and J (joining) are random…
