Overview of a proposed classification system using a pool of machine learning algorithms to determine the suitability of proteins for vaccine candidacy. Protein sequences for a target species are input into seven prediction programs. These programs provide evidence as to whether the proteins associated with the sequences are either membrane-associated or secreted, and contain epitopes. Evidence for each protein is collated to create an evidence profile. A collection of evidence profiles are used as input to a pool of six independent machine learning algorithms for classification. Final classification is based on voting and a majority rule decision.
