Gene libraries are a biological mechanism for generating combinatorial diversity in the immune system. However, they also bias the antibody creation process, so that they can be viewed as a way of guiding lifetime learning mechanisms. In this paper we examine the implications of this view, by examining coverage, avoidance of self, clustering and diversity. We show how gene libraries may improve both computational expense and performance, and present an analysis which suggests how they might do it. We suggest that gene libraries: provide combinatorial efficiency; improve coverage; reduce the cost of negative selection; and allow targeting of fixed antigen populations.
