pVAC-Seq

pVAC-Seq is a cancer immunotherapy pipeline for the identification of personalized Variant Antigens by Cancer Sequencing (pVAC-Seq) that integrates tumor mutation and expression data (DNA- and RNA-Seq). It enables cancer immunotherapy research by using massively parallel sequence data to predicting tumor-specific mutant peptides (neoantigens) that can elicit anti-tumor T cell immunity. It is being used in studies of checkpoint therapy response and to identify targets for cancer vaccines and adoptive T cell therapies. For more general information, see the manuscript published in Genome Medicine.

New in version 4.0.8

This is a hotfix release. It fixes an error introduced in a previous version that would occur when using a local installation of the IEDB tools and is related to some filtering we do on the output from the IEDB tools. More information can be found on GitHub issue 278.
