Design a Gene

The Design a Gene pathway is designed for the simple and rapid generation of oligos encoding a synthetic gene from a protein sequence.

GeneDesign will perform stepwise modifications to an amino acid sequence to produce a codon-optimized nucleotide sequence that codes for the specified protein. The modified nucleotide sequence can have dozens of customizations that will allow users to proceed to complex experimental work designed to quickly elucidate the structure and function of the gene in question. The final nucleotide sequence will be comprised of segments linked by restriction sites, allowing users to swap synthetic segments with native segments or to easily introduce mutations, in order to help determine which regions are necessary for the function of the gene.

The first module in the pathway is Reverse Translation, followed by Silent Site Insertion and Oligo Design.
