Query on Modified BLOSUM62

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi Team,

Impressed with your work! I'm researching T cell receptor and epitope sequence binding. Could you share more details on how you modified BLOSUM62 for your project?

Thanks,

This is not a modified Blosum; these are the joint probabilities for Blosum62. You can find it in the code for Blast, for instance https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/IEB/ToolBox/CPP_DOC/lxr/source/src/algo/blast/composition_adjustment/matrix_frequency_data.c starting at l.385
