Screening the random peptide libraries constructed with phage display provides an efficient and convenient approach to acquire mimotopes. However, target-unrelated peptides creep into mimotopes from time to time because corresponding phage clones may grow faster or bind to contaminants or other components of the screening system. SAROTUP is a suite of tools that can scan, report and exclude possible target-unrelated peptides from the noisy experiment results of phage display. As freely accessible service for the data preprocessing and cleaning of phage display, you are welcome to use these tools in your work.
