Sequential (linear) B-cell epitopes binding to four antibody classes viz.
IgG, IgE, IgA and IgM (excluding IgD) are extracted using Perl scripts and divided into
four labels.
Epitopes that bind to more than one class of antibodies are also
extracted using specifically written Perl scripts and assigned specific
binary notation.
Linear antibody binding epitopes from novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), with Human as host organism, are also extracted from the IEDB.
The final dataset and SARS-CoV-2 test dataset consist of 10744 and 176
epitopes respectively.
