The SysteMHC Atlas: a Computational Pipeline, a Website, and a Data Repository for Immunopeptidomic Analyses

Methods Mol Biol. 2020:2120:173-181. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0327-7_12.

Abstract

Mass spectrometry has emerged as the method of choice for the exploration of the immunopeptidome. Insights from the immunopeptidome promise novel cancer therapeutic approaches and a better understanding of the basic mechanisms of our immune system. To meet the computational demands from the steady gain in popularity and reach of mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics analysis, we created the SysteMHC Atlas project, a first-of-its-kind computational pipeline and resource repository dedicated to standardizing data analysis and public dissemination of immunopeptidomic datasets.

Keywords: Bioinformatics; Computational proteomics; Database; Immunopeptidome; Mass spectrometry.
