The original intent of assembling a data set of publicly-available tumor-infiltrating T cells (TILs) with paired TCR sequencing was to expand and improve the scRepertoire R package. However, after some discussion, we decided to release the data set for everyone, a complete summary of the sequencing runs and the sample information can be found in the meta data of the Seurat object.
This involves several steps 1) loading the respective GE data, 2) harmonizing the data by sample and cohort information, 3) iterating through automatic annotation, and 4) adding the TCR information. This information is stored in the meta data of the Seurat objects - an explanation of each variable is available here.

The filtered gene matrices output from Cell Ranger align function from individual sequencing runs (10x Genomics, Pleasanton, CA) loaded into the R global environment. For each sequencing run cell barcodes were appended to contain a unique prefix to prevent issues with duplicate barcodes. The results were then ported into individual Seurat objects (citation), where the cells with > 10% mitochondrial genes and/or 2.5x standard deviation from the mean of features were excluded for quality control purposes. At the individual sequencing run level, doublets were estimated using the scDblFinder (v1.4.0) R package.
Automatic annotation was performed using the singler (v2.2.0) R package (citation) with the HPCA (citation) and DICE (citation) data sets as references and the fine label discriminators. Individual sequencing runs were subsetted to run through the singleR algorithm in order to reduce memory demands. The output of all the singleR analyses were collated and appended to the meta data of the seurat object. Likewise, the Azimuth (v0.4.6.9004) R Package (citation was used for automatic annotation as a partially orthogonal approach.
The filtered contig annotation T cell receptor (TCR) data for available sequencing runs were loaded into the R global environment. Individual contigs were combined using the combineTCR() function of scRepertoire (v2.0.0) R Package (citation). Clonotypes were assigned to barcodes and were multiple duplicate chains for individual cells were filtered to select for the top expressing contig by read count. The clonotype data was then added to the Seurat Object with proportion across individual patients being used to calculate frequency.
