JO - Genome biology VL - 26 IS - 1 SN - 1465-6906 CY - London PB - BioMed Central M1 - DKFZ-2025-01945 SP - 290 PY - 2025 AB - Confident identification of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-presented peptides is crucial for advancing cancer immunotherapy. We present MHCquant2, a scalable and modular Nextflow pipeline integrated into nf-core as a reproducible, portable, and standardized workflow for immunopeptidomics. This integration allows a community-driven, robust solution for high-throughput analyses across operating systems and cloud infrastructures. MHCquant2 integrates open-source tools including OpenMS, DeepLC, and MS2PIP, improving peptide identifications by up to 27 KW - Humans KW - Antigens, Neoplasm: immunology KW - Peptides: immunology KW - HLA Antigens: immunology KW - Software KW - Neoplasms: immunology KW - Proteomics: methods KW - HLA (Other) KW - Immunopeptidomics (Other) KW - Immunotherapy (Other) KW - Mass spectrometry (Other) KW - Nextflow (Other) KW - Nf-core (Other) KW - Open-source (Other) KW - Pipeline (Other) KW - Antigens, Neoplasm (NLM Chemicals) KW - Peptides (NLM Chemicals) KW - HLA Antigens (NLM Chemicals) LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:40983925 C2 - pmc:PMC12455830 DO - DOI:10.1186/s13059-025-03763-8 UR - https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/304839 ER -
