Description

https://github.com/griffithlab/pVACtools/pull/1229 incorporates a new feature where epitopes resulting from variants on a gene of interest are marked. This information could be used to further refine the aggregate report. Some options are:

  • Give priority to predictions on a gene of interest when sorting the results among each tier
  • Add a new tier for predictions that are are Pass and on a Gene of Interest and sort this tier above simple Pass predictions

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #1229 to understand how gene-of-interest status is represented, then trace the aggregate report's tiering and sorting behavior. Resolve whether the intended result is priority within existing tiers or a new tier above Pass, and verify the chosen behavior in aggregate report output.
