ElliPro: a new structure-based tool for the prediction of antibody epitopes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Decreasing costs of DNA sequencing have made prokaryotic draft genome sequences increasingly common. A contig scaffold is an ordering of contigs in the correct orientation. A scaffold can help genome comparisons and guide gap closure efforts. One popular technique for obtaining contig scaffolds is to map con...
