NCIt definition : Any process of gene rearrangement that creates a novel junction among the immunoglobuling-coding
variable, diversity, joining or constant segments. This process involves sequence
recognition, cleavage, excision and ligation by recombinases to create a contiguous
protein-coding gene. Immunoglobulin gene rearrangement is involved in generation of
antibody diversity.;
