  This study presents a useful computational data preprocessing methodology for de-biasing/denoising high-throughput genomic signals using optimal transport techniques. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is, however, in parts incomplete, with a partially insufficient experimental setup for validation. The method needs to be be compared with other algorithms, using datasets that demonstrate broad applicability of the algorithm presented. The work could be of interest to scientists in the field of computational genomics.

  In this important manuscript, the authors used unbiased approaches to identify somatic mutations in publicly available databases that would disrupt clinically approved antibodies targeting HER2. Using a solid combination of both computational and experimental approaches they identify mutations that could restore therapeutic antibody sensitivity in a series of disease-relevant model systems. Additional cell-based and in vivo assays would strengthen the work and increase the translational and potential clinical relevance of the proposed work.
