epitopefinder is a Python package for parsing epitopes from data sources such as the Immune Epitope Database, assigning them to specific sites in proteins, and then analyzing the epitopes and their correlations to various other properties.
The program can be run using scripts with text input files, so there is no need to interface directly with the Python API unless you want to further develop or extend this package.
The scripts include:
- The epitopefinder_getepitopes.py script which identifies epitopes from data files in the format that can be downloaded from the Immune Epitope Database.
- A variety of analysis scripts which can be used to analyze the output files generated by epitopefinder_getepitopes.py.
There is a section in this documentation describing examples. The files used for these examples can be found in the ./examples subdirectory of the main directory containing epitopefinder after downloading the package.
epitopefinder source code is available on GitHub.
epitopefinder documentation is available on GitHub Pages.
