Abstract
Shinoda et al. demonstrate previously unknown, frequent RAG-dependent recombination within the Ig Vκ gene cluster, which is mediated by evolutionarily conserved flipped RSS embedded in bona fide RSS. These intra-Vκ cluster recombination events alter the available Vκ gene pool by deleting Vκ segments and shape the Vκ-Jκ immune repertoire.
