  Description     : cancer immunotherapy suite

 This package aims at supporting the immune system to recognize tumor
 tissue as foreign. The basic idea is to learn from DNA sequencing about
 differences that the tumor has in its protein sequences. And if the patient is
 likely to recognize such linear fragments as forein if pushed a bit, then can
 possibly start to think about vaccinating with these fragments.
 .
 pVACtools is a cancer immunotherapy 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.
 .
 pVACsplice: A tool for detecting neoantigens resulting from splice
 site variants.
 .
 pVACvector: A tool designed to aid specifically in the construction of
 DNA vector-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.

I am not ultimately confident that this package will every surface in
Debian, let alone since with its 1.8 GB it is rather massive. But there are
a series of dependencies that Debian should offer to its biomedical
research community that I want to see in our distribution:

 python3-mhcflurry,
 python3-mhcnuggets,
 python3-polars,
 python3-simanneal,
 python3-varcode,
 python3-vaxrank,
 python3-vcfpy

All these packages shall eventually appear on the Debian Med salsa
repository.
