Description

Hello, as far as I understood, the two methods, query the server:

--net-chop-method {cterm,20s}
NetChop prediction method to use ("cterm" for C term
3.0, "20s" for 20S 3.0).
--netmhc-stab Run NetMHCStabPan after all filtering and add
stability predictions to predicted epitopes

Is there a local database option akin to --iedb-install-directory for mhc-i predictions?
Would it be possible to have those locally for netmch-stab and net-chop as I have a large dataset and dont want to be blacklisted?
Thank you!

Research direction

Start by tracing the handling of --net-chop-method and --netmhc-stab, then compare it with the existing --iedb-install-directory option. Determine how local NetChop and NetMHCStabPan data or execution would be configured, and define tests showing that large datasets can use the local option without querying the remote servers.
