Abstract:
:Optimization of coding sequences to maximize protein expression yield is often outsourced to external service providers during commercial gene synthesis and thus unfortunately remains a black box for many researchers. The presented software program "CodonWizard" offers scientists a powerful but easy-to-use tool for customizable codon optimization: The intuitive graphical user interface empowers even scientists inexperienced in the art to straightforward design, modify, test and save complex codon optimization strategies and to publicly share successful otimization strategies among the scientific community. "Codon Wizard" provides highly flexible features for sequence analysis and completely customizable modification/optimization of codon usage of any given input sequence data (DNA/RNA/peptide) using freely combinable algorithms, allowing for implementation of contemporary, well-established optimization strategies as well as novel, proprietary ones alike. Contrary to comparable tools, "Codon Wizard" thus finally opens up ways for an empirical approach to codon optimization and may also >be used completely offline to protect resulting intellectual property. As a benchmark, the reliability, intuitiveness and utility of the application could be demonstrated by increasing the yield of recombinant TEV-protease expressed in E. coli by several orders of magnitude after codon optimization using "CodonWizard" - Permanently available for download on the web at http://schwalbe.org.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de/node/3324.
