Epi-Seq: Bioinformatics pipeline for predicting tumor specific epitopes from RNA-Seq data

Introduction

Epi-Seq is a multi-step bioinformatics analysis pipeline that starts from the raw RNA-Seq tumor reads, and produces a set of predicted tumor-specific expressed epitopes. It integrates several bioinformatics tools from the NGSTools and IsoEM packages developed in the Mandoiu lab, including the SNVQ algorithm for calling mutations from RNA-Seq data and the RefHap single individual haplotyping algorithm, as well as the NetMHC 3.0 epitope prediction algorithm developed at the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis, Technical University of Denmark. See the README.TXT file for installation instructions and full dependencies.
