RBS & Operon Design

Work on the translation-initiation side of an expression construct: read the strength of an existing ribosome binding site, design a 5-prime UTR towards a strength you want, or stack several coding sequences into one operon.

The E. coli lac operon and two synthetic transcription units: analyze a real Shine-Dalgarno in context, reverse-design a 5′UTR, or stack CDSs into an operon

01

What it does

  1. 01RBS strength analysis for a selected CDS
  2. 02Reverse design of a 5-prime UTR towards a target strength
  3. 03Operon construction, stacking several CDSs into one construct
  4. 04Results written back onto the map as annotations
02

What it runs on

Analysis and design run on the headless engine in packages/ports. The panel runs on @ports/rbs, @ports/regulatory.

Everything runs client-side. Files are parsed in the browser and projects are saved on this machine, so an unpublished sequence is never uploaded.

Questions

Can it design a UTR for a strength I specify?
Yes. Reverse design takes a target strength and produces a 5-prime UTR aimed at it, which is the inverse of the analysis path.
