Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

Recent advances in bioinformatics show clonal neoantigens are the best targets for immunotherapy, as I will elucidate below. Using powerful bioinformatics technology developed and validated with sequence data from the TRACERx study, researchers are able to identify clonal neoantigens from a patient’s unique tumour profile.

Doctors in training are told that when they hear hoofbeats, they should think horses, not zebras; rare diseases are the exception, not the rule. These laboratories share data and bioinformatics tools that enabled the early detection of SARS-CoV-2 and monkeypox even before their reference genomes were available.

#WhyIScience Q&A: A systems biologist develops computational tools to bring scale to cell experiments

Broad Institute

At first, Yue Qin thought she wanted to become a doctor. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in bioinformatics, Qin then went on to pursue her PhD at UCSD, where she used computational modeling to study how proteins interact with each other and assemble into a human cell.
