India and its neighboring countries have a huge burden of arboviral diseases. Data mining for country-specific sequences from existing bioinformatics databases is cumbersome and time-consuming. This necessitated the development of a database of antigenic proteins from arboviruses isolated from the countries of the Indian subcontinent.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p>Arboviral antigenic protein sequences were obtained from the NCBI and other databases. <jats:italic>In silico<\/jats:italic> antigenic characterization was performed (Epitope predictions) and data was incorporated into the database.
