The process by which immune receptor genes are diversified through recombination of the germline genetic elements within a single genetic locus. The process by which immune receptor V, D, and J, or V and J gene segments, depending on the specific receptor, are recombined within a single locus utilizing the conserved heptamer and nonomer recombination signal sequences (RSS). The process by which T cell receptor V, D, and J, or V and J gene segments, depending on the specific locus, are recombined within a single locus utilizing the conserved heptamer and nonomer recombination signal sequences (RSS). The somatic process by means of which sequence diversity of T cell receptor genes is generated. The process by which T cell receptor genes are formed through recombination of the germline genetic elements, also known as T cell receptor gene segments.
