Full design automation of multi-state RNA devices to program gene expression using energy-based optimization.
Small RNAs (sRNAs) can operate as regulatory agents to control protein expression by interaction with the 5' untranslated region of the mRNA. We have developed a physicochemical framework, relying on base pair interaction energies, to design multi-state sRNA devices by solving an optimization p...
