Predict Antimicrobial Peptides

A toolkit to predict antimicrobial peptides from protein sequences on a genome-wide scale. It incorporates two support vector machine models ("precursor" and "mature") trained on publicly available antimicrobial peptide data using calculated physico-chemical and compositional sequence properties described in Meher et al. (2017) . In order to support genome-wide analyses, these models are designed to accept any type of protein as input and calculation of compositional properties has been optimised for high-throughput use. For details see Fingerhut et al. 2020 .
