| Abstract | In cancer genomics, next generation sequencing data are usually used to detect somatic driver mutations for identifying the cause of tumorigenesis. However, non-driver somatic mutations, or passenger mutations, can also play an important role in cancer cell survival and treatment by generating aberrant short peptide sequences as known as "neoantigens". Tumor-specific mutations form novel immunogenic peptides called neoantigens, which could be important to the recent promising outcomes of cancer immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint blockade. Many studies have tried to identify various sequence characteristics for prediction of immunogenicity; however, practical applications rely on a single predicted value (MHC-I binding affinity) with an arbitrary cut-off. Here, we developed Neopepsee, a method that applies a machine learning to predict personal neoantigen with next generation sequencing data. Neopepsee not only automates the entire computational procedure for immunogenicity prediction from raw data but also improves accuracy by harnessing 10 different features for classification, including conventional MHC-I and T-cell receptor binding affinity and amino acid characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity, polarity and charge). Additionally, we found that protein sequence similarity to known pathogenic epitopes is a novel strong feature for classification. Tests with validated epitope datasets and independently proven neoantigens confirmed the remarkable improvement in accuracy. Application of Neopepsee to 224 public stomach adenocarcinoma data predicted neoantigens, whose burden is strongly correlated with patient prognosis. By providing a convenient platform with better accuracy, Neopepsee will be of many uses in cancer immunotherapy research, such as in developing predictive biomarkers and in designing personalized cancer vaccines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
