• To provide a more efficient and flexible alternative to existing PseAAC web servers.

Main Methods:

• Development of a new cross-platform software program named PseAAC-Builder.
• Implementation of various modes for generating pseudo-amino acid composition.
• Focus on efficient and flexible generation of digital feature vectors from protein sequences.

Main Results:

• PseAAC-Builder offers efficient and flexible generation of pseudo-amino acid composition.
• The software is designed to handle large-scale datasets more effectively than current web servers.
• Provides a stand-alone solution for PseAAC generation.

Conclusions:
