    Peptide antigenicity was predicted to all supported HLA alleles among the 297 using PRIME (27) with default parameters by providing a list of all binders predicted by netCTLpan (28) and filtering for TAP and Cle scores as previously described (26).
    PRIME
    suggested: (Prime, RRID:SCR_014887)
    Statistical and data analysis: The analysis was conducted on the R environment v4.0, and we used the R packages Biostrings v2.56 for peptide sequence manipulation and alignment, ggmsa v0.0.5 for visualization, and ggpubr v0.3.0 for statistical analysis.
    Biostrings
    suggested: (Biostrings, RRID:SCR_016949)

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
