Welcome to Vaxign2: Vaccine Design!

Note: Sorry that Vaxign and Vaxign2 both have some bug(s) that we are still fixing. Before it is fixed, please download and use the Vaxign-ML-docker for your prediction.

Vaxign2 (Vaccine Design) is a vaccine target prediction and analysis system based on the principle of reverse vaccinology.
Two methods in Vaxign2 are:
     (1) Dynamic Analysis: allow sequence input and dynamic Vaxign2 execution and result visualization.
     (2) Precompute Query: provide precomputed Vaxign2 results for users to explore

This program allows users to input a protein sequence(s) and set up parameters. The Vaxign2 web server will dynamically calculate the possibilities of using the protein(s) as vaccine target(s) using the automatic Vaxign2 pipeline. It is noted that lengthy computational time may be expected.
