Abstract

Targeting cancer neoantigens generated by tumor-exclusive somatic mutations is an attractive yet challenging strategy for the robust and specific elimination of tumor cells by cellular immunotherapy. In this issue of Cell, Wells et al. describe a consortium-based approach to optimize bioinformatics pipelines to sensitively and accurately predict immunogenic neoantigens from next-generation sequencing data.
