EpicTope: narrating protein sequence features to identify non-disruptive epitope tagging sites.

Epitope tagging is an invaluable technique enabling the identification, tracking, and purification of proteins in vivo. We developed a tool, EpicTope, to facilitate this method by identifying amino acid positions suitable for epitope insertion. Our method uses a scoring function that considers multiple protein sequence and structural features to determine locations least disruptive to the protein's function.
