The new and improved features include:

InfiltrateID, a sophisticated analytics module that leverages the augmented gene expression data from the NeXT Transcriptome to detect the presence of eight immune cell populations within a tumor sample
RepertoireID now incorporates the characterization of the B-cell receptor repertoire, including the computing of isotype makeup, as a complement to the previously released T-cell receptor repertoire feature
SHERPA, further enhancing the performance of Personalis’ leading pan-allelic neoantigen prediction algorithm recently published in the Immunopeptidomics Special Issue of the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics
Personalis CMO and SVP of R&D, Richard Chen, MD, said, "With the ability to identify immune cell populations in the tumor, characterize the B-cell and T-cell receptor repertoires, and better predict neoantigens, we are further expanding the NeXT Platform for additional emerging oncology biomarkers. As we recently demonstrated with our NEOPS biomarker publication, combining both tumor and immune features into a composite biomarker can lead to better stratification of patient response to cancer therapy. These new NeXT Platform features open up opportunities to further enhance composite biomarkers like NEOPS."

These advanced machine learning and algorithmic tools paired with the unique assay design of the NeXT Platform, further Personalis’ goal of providing the most comprehensive genomic tumor profiling platform available. The NeXT Platform consolidates multiple biomarker assays into one, enabling a seamless path from translational research to companion diagnostics development.
