UTRGAN: Learning to Generate 5’ UTR Sequences for Optimized Translation Efficiency and Gene Expression. #5UTRs #TranslationalControl #TranslationOptimization #GeneExpression #Genomics #Bioinformatics Bioinformatics Advances academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…


📢📢Our study on designing novel 5’ UTRs to that yield higher expression levels and mean ribosome load for the target genes is now published in Bioinformatics Advances. This was a study with graduates from my group Sina Barazandeh, furkan ozden; and a collaboration with Urartu Şeker and his student

🛫 CGSI-The Computational Genomics Summer Institute is in the books. The best meeting ever.




Very happy to announce that our study on designing RNA to bind and target proteins is now published PLOS Comp Biol. RNAtranslator is a generative language model that formulates protein-conditional RNA design as a sequence-to-sequence natural language translation problem for the
