5.0.0
This is a major version release. Please note that pVACtools 5.0 is not guaranteed to be backwards-compatible and certain changes could break old workflows.
New Tools
- This release adds a new tool, pVACsplice, for prediction neoantigens from splice sites. Please see the full tool documentation for more information. by @mrichters in #911
New Features
- This release refactors the pVACvector graph building algorithm in order to increase the probability for finding a solution and reduce the number of iterations needed before a solution is found. Please see the PR description for the full details. by @susannasiebert in #1163
- Add a new
--aggregate-inclusion-count-limit
parameter to set the maximum number of epitopes to include in the metrics.json detailed data for variants that have a large number of candidate neoantigens (e.g., frameshifts). by @susannasiebert in #1147 - Add a new
--biotypes
parameter which defines a list of transcript consequence biotypes that the predictions from pVACseq and pVACsplice should be limited to. by @mrichters in #911 - Add support for additional alleles that weren’t previously supported, includings ones for dog, mouse, and MHC class II. by @susannasiebert in #1148
Bugfixes
- This relase fixes a bug with the
--agregate-inclusion-binding-threshold
which would not be used if the--allele-specific-binding-thresholds
flag was set. by @susannasiebert in #1147 - The pVACview percentile plots have been updated to include percentiles from elution and immunogenicity algorithms. by @susannasiebert in #1149
- This release fixes a bug where the incorrect neoantigen fasta entry may be used for the reference proteome search if there were multiple variants or alt alleles located at the same genomic position. by @susannasiebert in #1153
- Add additional trailing amino acids for frameshift insertions when creating fasta in order to capture a matched wildtype entry in large repetitive regions. by @susannasiebert in #1155
New Contributors
- @mrichters made their first contribution in #911
