Predictive performance on different peptide lengths for the allmer and allmer-allele predictive methods. The two methods were trained as described in the text. The predictive performance was measured in terms of Pearson’s correlation coefficient (PCC) and area under the ROC curve (AUC), the latter using a binding threshold of 500 nM. The allmer method significantly outperforms the allmer-allele approach for peptides of length 9 and 10 (binomial test excluding ties). **: p <0.001, *: p <0.05
