pVACtools is a cancer immunotherapy tools suite consisting of the following tools:
- pVACseq
- A cancer immunotherapy pipeline for identifying and prioritizing neoantigens from a VCF file.
- pVACbind
- A cancer immunotherapy pipeline for identifying and prioritizing neoantigens from a FASTA file.
- pVACfuse
- A tool for detecting neoantigens resulting from gene fusions.
- pVACvector
- A tool designed to aid specifically in the construction of DNA-based cancer vaccines.
- pVACview
- An application based on R Shiny that assists users in reviewing, exploring and prioritizing neoantigens from the results of pVACtools processes for personalized cancer vaccine design.

New in Release |release|
This is a bugfix release. It fixes the following problem(s):
- Previously, pVACview would add an additional header line to Excel spreadsheets when exporting a TSV. This has been fixed so that the first line in the spreadsheet is the actual header line. by @susannasiebert in #1143
- One of the pVACview figures used to describe various anchor scenarios has been updated so that the ordering of the scenarios is consistent with other figures and descriptions throughout. Screenshots and documentation has been updated appropriately. by @susannasiebert in #1144
- The class II pVACview demo data was out-of-date and not reflecting recent updates to the HLA alpha-beta chain handling. This file has now been updated. by @susannasiebert in #1145
