Subgroup

A subgroup is a set of IG or TR genes (C-GENE, V-GENE, D-GENE , J-GENE) which belong to the same group, in a given species, and which share at least 75% identity at the nucleotide level (in the germline configuration for V, D, and J).

The 'subgroup' concept is part of the 'CLASSIFICATION' concept of IMGT-ONTOLOGY[1]
