Due to the availability of enormous data regarding the virus across different databases, computer-assisted peptide vaccine design is a feasible way of creating vaccines at a much quicker rate. So far, there are various ‘alignment’ methods to design such peptide vaccines but, here, the discussion focuses on an ‘alignment-free’ and […]
