PeptideXme vs. Mutation-Only Approaches

Feature Mutation-Only Platforms PeptideXme
Neoantigen sources Somatic SNVs, indels Somatic mutations + AS-derived + fusion-derived + non-canonical
Transcriptomics Short-read RNA-seq (expression only) Long-read + short-read RNA-seq (full isoform resolution)
Immunopeptidomics Prediction only Direct MS validation of presented peptides
Structural modeling Binding affinity prediction 3D peptide-MHC-TCR structural modeling + binding energy
Peptide engineering None Rational peptide enhancement + self-peptide displacement
TME characterization Limited (gene signatures) Full immune profiling (scRNA-seq, TCR repertoire, TME deconvolution)
