Abstract
Peptides presented by MHC proteins regulate all aspects of T cell biology. These MHC-associated peptides (MAPs) form what is known as the immunopeptidome and their comprehensive analysis has catalyzed the burgeoning field of immunopeptidomics. Advances in mass spectrometry (MS) and next-generation sequencing have facilitated significant breakthroughs in this area, some of which are highlighted in this article on the cryptic immunopeptidome. Here, 'cryptic' refers to peptides and proteins encoded by noncanonical open reading frames (ORFs). Cryptic MAPs derive mainly from short unstable proteins found in normal, infected, and neoplastic cells. Cryptic MAPs show minimal overlap with cryptic proteins found in whole-cell extracts. In many cancer types, most cancer-specific MAPs are cryptic.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology.
Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
