The ICGC-TCGA DREAM Somatic Mutation Calling Challenge• Initial Goal: Find the Best WGS Analysis Methods• Challenge 1 Data: 10 Real Tumor/Normal pairs
– 5 from pancreatic tumors and 5 from prostate tumors– Sequenced to ~50x/30x
• Up to 10K candidates will be validated• Re-sequencing to ~300x coverage using AmpliSeq
primers on IonTorrent

Epitope Prediction
TCR Sequencing
• Criteria for selecting candidate epitopes1) Gene harboring the SNV must be expressed (FPKM
estimation)

• Criteria for selecting candidate epitopes1) Gene harboring the SNV must be expressed2) Peptide will be generated inside the cell upon protein being
cleaved by the proteasome3) Peptide will bind to an MHC molecule that will chaperon it to the
cell surface • NetChop
Predicts cleavage sites of the human proteasome http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetChop/• SYFPEITHI Predicts MHC I, MHC II binding http://www.syfpeithi.de/• NETMHC Predicts MHC I binding http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHC/• NetCTL
Combined cleavage and MHC biding predictions http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetCTL/
