Improved method for predicting linear B-cell epitopes.

The best single method for predicting linear B-cell epitopes is the hidden Markov model. Combining the hidden Markov model with one of the best propensity scale methods, we obtained the BepiPred method. When tested on the validation data set this method performs significantly better than any of the other methods tested. The server and data sets are publicly available at http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/BepiPred.
