Derivation of an amino acid similarity matrix for peptide:MHC binding and its application as a Bayesian prior

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Experts in peptide:MHC binding studies are often able to estimate the impact of a single residue substitution based on a heuristic understanding of amino acid similarity in an experimental context. Our aim is to quantify this measure...
