HERON

This is the released version of HERON; for the devel version, see HERON.

Hierarchical Epitope pROtein biNding


Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)

HERON is a software package for analyzing peptide binding array data. In addition to identifying significant binding probes, HERON also provides functions for finding epitopes (string of consecutive peptides within a protein). HERON also calculates significance on the probe, epitope, and protein level by employing meta p-value methods. HERON is designed for obtaining calls on the sample level and calculates fractions of hits for different conditions.
