Chord diagram displaying the frequencies and clonalities of the TCR Vβ, Vγ, and Vδ subfamilies in different age groups. (a, b) Each sector of the circle represents one node of the TCR subfamilies, and its width indicates the expression frequencies of TCR Vβ (a), Vγ, and Vδ (b) that connect the clonalities of the TCR subfamilies. (c, d) Circularly arranged sectors represent the different age groups and the clonalities of the TCR Vβ (c), Vγ, and Vδ (d), and the scale bars indicate their relative expression frequencies ( in each age group).
