Abstract
The computational design of messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences is a critical technology for both scientific research and industrial applications. Recent advances in prediction and optimization models have enabled the automatic scoring and optimization of $5^\prime $ UTR sequences, key upstream elements of mRNA. However, fully automated design of $5^\prime $ UTR sequences with more than two objective scores has not yet been explored. In this study, we present a computational pipeline that optimizes human $5^\prime $ UTR sequences in a multi-objective framework, addressing up to four distinct and conflicting objectives. Our work represents an important advancement in the multi-objective computational design of mRNA sequences, paving the way for more sophisticated mRNA engineering.
期刊介绍:
Briefings in Bioinformatics is an international journal serving as a platform for researchers and educators in the life sciences. It also appeals to mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists applying their expertise to biological challenges. The journal focuses on reviews tailored for users of databases and analytical tools in contemporary genetics, molecular and systems biology. It stands out by offering practical assistance and guidance to non-specialists in computerized methodologies. Covering a wide range from introductory concepts to specific protocols and analyses, the papers address bacterial, plant, fungal, animal, and human data.
The journal's detailed subject areas include genetic studies of phenotypes and genotypes, mapping, DNA sequencing, expression profiling, gene expression studies, microarrays, alignment methods, protein profiles and HMMs, lipids, metabolic and signaling pathways, structure determination and function prediction, phylogenetic studies, and education and training.
