Codon Optimization in Synthetic Biology
Codons are the fundamental information-carrying units found in nucleic acids and proteins. varied animals or genes have varied preferences for synonymous codons, resulting in codon usage bias, which has a complicated impact on protein production levels. Codon optimization is critical in the heterologous production of recombinant proteins.
Codon optimization challenges
Codon optimization in synthetic biology has two challenges: the vast number of potential codon permutations, and the complicated downstream effects of codons on processes such as transcription, translation, protein folding, and function. Traditional empirical rules for codon optimization include strategies such as codon substitution, codon pair preference, and sequence motifs; however, these methods frequently struggle to capture complex long-range patterns in sequences, and the optimization results are not well summarized, making accurate expression-level predictions impossible.
Innovative Approach to Deep Learning
The introduction of deep learning technology opens up new options for codon optimization. Instead of depending simply on traditional empirical methods, we may take a more complete look at codon distribution and other aspects using deep learning techniques. Creative Biogene has launched a service that uses artificial intelligence algorithms in conjunction with codon optimization technology to handle synthetic biology difficulties and give clients efficient and accurate synthetic biology solutions.
