Unique peptide neo-antigens presented on the cell surface are attractive targets for researchers in nearly all areas of personalized medicine. Cells presenting peptides with mutated or other non-canonical sequences can be utilized for both targeted therapies and diagnostics. Today's state-of-the-art pipelines utilize complementary proteogenomic approaches where RNA or ribosomal sequencing data helps to create libraries from which tandem mass spectrometry data can be compared. In this study, we present an alternative approach whereby cloud computing is utilized to power neo-antigen searches against community curated databases containing more than 7 million human sequence variants. Using these expansive databases of high-quality sequences as a reference, we reanalyze the original data from two previously reported studies to identify neo-antigen targets in metastatic melanoma. Using our approach, we identify 79 percent of the non-canonical peptides reported by previous genomic analyses of these files. Furthermore, we report 18-fold more non-canonical peptides than previously reported. The novel neo-antigens we report herein can be corroborated by secondary analyses such as high predicted binding affinity, when analyzed by well-established tools such as NetMHC. Finally, we report 738 non-canonical peptides shared by at least five patient samples, and 3258 shared across the two studies. This illustrates the depth of data that is present, but typically missed by lower statistical power proteogenomic approaches. This large list of shared peptides across the two studies, their annotation, non-canonical origin, as well as MS/MS spectra from the two studies are made available on a web portal for community analysis.
