Design Notes
To generate this artificial DNA sequence, we employed our custom-made algorithm for modifying gene sequences to eliminate mutagenic sites. These sites were identified based on prior research on DNA oxidation, which identified poly-guanine motifs as particularly vulnerable. At these motifs, synonymous codon substitutions were made to eliminate oxidation-prone nucleotide sequences and replace them with ones with a lower mutation risk. In addition, our algorithm used heuristics to factor in the effect different codons have on gene expression to ensure that the gene not only produced the same protein but produced it at similar levels. For this sequence, our algorithm could eliminate 65% of poly-guanine motifs and an overall reduction in oxidizable guanines.
