    DOE Masterclass:
    Optimizing Genetic Code

    DOE is often applied to systems that have many continuous variables, like in assay development where we look to optimize the concentrations of multiple assay components.  

    However, genetic code offers a very different challenge.  How do we optimize a huge number of categoric variables, each with four potential levels: A, T, G or C?  

    In this webinar, Dr Claes Gustafsson from Atum and Dr Markus Gershater from Synthace will walk you through:

    • How DOE-like approaches can be applied to such a challenging design space
    • With examples covering the systematic optimization of:
      • Promoters
      • Genes 
      • And Proteins
    • How to apply DOE methodology to genetic code.
