Design Notes
The synthetic UTR was designed utilizing the deep learning model developed by Castillo-Hair et al., which optimizes 5’ UTRs for efficient mRNA translation using generative neural networks and gradient descent. This model was trained on polysome profiling data from randomized 5’ UTR libraries across multiple cell types, allowing it to learn sequence features that enhance translation efficiency. The model was validated by calculation of the mean ribosome load (MRL) and minimum free energy (MFE) for each designed UTR.
