## Aggregate Report of Best Candidates by Variant

## Variant Information
119+
120+
The Variant Information panel shows more variant-level details of the selected
121+
neoantigen candidate.
122+
123+
```{r, fig.align='center', out.width="100%", echo = FALSE, fig.alt= "The Variant Information tab shows more details for the selected variant."}
124+
ottrpal::include_slide("https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1uz39zaObDGKhEVCGzO0JO35CTbC0oRAM0mxgLcMAA9Y/edit#slide=id.g25ad9ce8c9b_0_14")
125+
```
126+
127+
On the left is a three-tab section. The first tab, "Transcript Sets of Selected
128+
Variant", shows a list of transcript sets. pVACtools bins transcripts that code for
129+
the same set of neoantigen candidates into a set
130+
because the neoantigen-level information for all transcripts in a set will be
131+
identical. The transcript set containing the Best Peptide is highlighted in
132+
green. This table shows the number of transcripts in each set, the number of
133+
well-binding peptides the transcripts in the set code for, and the total
134+
expression of all the transcripts in the set.
135+
136+
The second tab shows the details for any reference matches of the neoantigen
137+
candidate. It repeats information about the Best Peptide sequence, the amino acid
138+
change, the mutated position, and the gene for easy reference. The mutated
139+
positions are notated in red in the Best Peptide sequence and the Query
140+
Sequence. The Query Sequence is a longer sequence around the somatic mutation.
141+
The Best Peptide subsequence is highlighted in yellow in the Query Sequence. For
142+
any 8mer subsequence of the query sequence, pVACtools looks for matches in the
143+
reference proteome. Any matches found are reported in the Hits table
144+
145+
```{r, fig.align='center', out.width="100%", echo = FALSE, fig.alt= "The Variant Information tab shows more details for the selected variant."}
146+
ottrpal::include_slide("https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1uz39zaObDGKhEVCGzO0JO35CTbC0oRAM0mxgLcMAA9Y/edit#slide=id.g25ad9ce8c9b_0_20")
147+
```
148+
149+
The last tab shows the additional data if a Additional Neoantigen Candidate Aggregate
150+
Report was uploaded. It shows the Best Peptide and its information for this variant from the
151+
additional report. This can be used, e.g., when a Class I neoantigen candidate
152+
is a bad binder but all other metrics look good. Oftentimes this variant can
153+
be rescued by considering the best Class II neoantigen candidate instead.
154+
155+
```{r, fig.align='center', out.width="100%", echo = FALSE, fig.alt= "The Variant Information tab shows more details for the selected variant."}
156+

157+
```
158+
159+
The next section shows coverage and expression information as well as
160+
the genomic coordinates for the variant.
161+
162+
The last section shows counts for how many peptides have been accepted,
163+
rejected, or marked for review. For most vaccines a certain minimum number of
164+
neoantigen candidates is desired so this panel makes it easy to review how
165+
many neoantigen candidates are still needed.
