Vidjil is an open-source platform for the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data from lymphocytes, developed and maintained by the Bonsai bioinformatics lab at CRIStAL (UMR CNRS 9189, Université Lille) and the VidjilNet consortium at Inria.
Vidjil is used in routine clinical practice in hospitals around the world, in particular for the diagnosis of patients suffering Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Since 2015, around 50,000 routine samples were analyzed with Vidjil. As of 2024, Vidjil is used in 40+ studies on hemopathies (ALL, CLL, lymphomas, WM...) and immunology topics involving T-cell or B-cell repertoires. Vidjil was awarded an honorable mention at the French 2022 Open Science Awards for Open Source Research Software, in the Community category.
In addition to the core developers, we thank the many people who contribute to Vidjil across various aspects. Contributions span development, creation and maintenance of tests, documentation, as well as providing valuable usage reports, bug reports, and suggestions. See also codemeta.json.
