Gradient boosted trees based predictor for MHC Class I epitope binding prediction. MHCBoost is also part of BERT, a very powerful deimmunization workflow.
Python 3.7+ is a requirement!
git clone https://github.com/Zethson/MHCBoost
python setup.py install
mhcboost
> mhcboost
-p, --dataset_to_predict_path <arg> file to perform prediction on OR peptide sequence
-o, --predicted_dataset_path <arg> filepath to save the predicted output file to
-a, --allele <arg> allele to perform prediction on
-l, --peptide_length <arg> epitope peptide length - usually 9
optional -t, --training_dataset_path <arg> file for classifier training
optional -s, --silent suppresses learning output
Simply provide the answers to the questions asked by our tool.

Alternatively, provide input parameters when starting the tool.
> mhcboost -p examples/example_input.txt -o /home/mypc/Desktop/output.txt -a A*02:01 -l 9
MHCBoost supports 65 alleles.
