    Specifically, peptides derived from the HIV-1 envelope were presumed not to truly bind with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, so we used these HIV-1 peptides to estimate the FPR for a threshold under consideration: the number of HIV-1 sample-peptide pairs above this threshold divided by the total number of HIV-1 sample-peptide pairs in the library batch after the curation step.

    SentencesResources
    Bacterial codon-optimized oligonucleotide libraries were designed using the Python script available at https://github.com/jbloomlab/phipseq_oligodesign.
    Python
    suggested: (IPython, RRID:SCR_001658)
    We used the scipy.optimize package (Virtanen et al., 2020) to infer maximum likelihood estimates that would generate a set of mean normalized counts values across samples for each peptide, i.

    We used the pairwise2 function of the Biopython software package to perform the alignment (Cock et al.).

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
