A method for finding universal peptide linkers includes following steps. Peptides from a database are aligned back to a protein sequence, then a required length of a flanking linker protein is increased to generate positive samples. Afterward, non-cutting point positions outside peptide intervals are determined as possible negative samples, and the possible negative sample interval is cut into a same length as the positive sample. After defining positive samples and negative samples, negative samples that are identical to positive samples are removed. Next, the negative samples are grouped through a clustering algorithm, and a quantity of clusters is determined by an elbow method. Then, a difference or distance between the positive samples and the negative samples is calculated using a group center or an average within each group. Based on an average distance ranking and a proportion ranking, a weighted average ranking is calculated as a selection of peptide linkers.
