摘要

The design of neoepitope-based cancer immunotherapy requires predicting the immunogenicity of each patient-specific neoepitope candidate. We designed NeoGuider, a machine-learning model to address nonlinearity and class imbalance in such prediction. Central to NeoGuider is a supervised feature-transformation approach, which estimates odds using our custom kernel density estimation followed by centered isotonic regression. We implemented NeoGuider as a bioinformatics pipeline, which detects neoepitope candidates from sequencing data and prioritizes such candidates by predicted immunogenicity. Benchmarking on 7 cohorts, 113 patients, and 635 immunogenic candidates showed that NeoGuider outperformed existing methods in neoepitope prediction. NeoGuider is open-source at https://github.com/XuegongLab/neoguider.
