Vaxrank: A computational tool for designing personalized cancer vaccines

Abstract

Abstract Therapeutic vaccines targeting mutant tumor antigens (“neoantigens”) are an increasingly popular form of personalized cancer immunotherapy. Vaxrank is a computational tool for selecting neoantigen vaccine peptides from tumor mutations, tumor RNA data, and patient HLA type. Vaxrank is freely available at www.github.com/openvax/vaxrank under the Apache 2.0 open source license and can also be installed from the Python Package Index.
