Key Highlights

• Antigen identification is crucial in vaccine development.
• The Vax-ELAN pipeline (https://vac.kamalrawal.in/vaxelan/) was developed using computational tools.
• It is designed to screen pathogen proteomes for potential vaccine candidates.
• Computational methods, including deep learning, assist in identifying vaccine targets using genomic and proteomic data.
• Introduction of a computational system utilizing reverse vaccinology and immuno-informatics tools.
• Vax-ELAN assesses and shortlists proteins based on specific characteristics, qualifying them as potential vaccine candidates.
