For heterologous gene expression, codon optimization is required to enhance the quality and quantity of the protein product. Recently, we introduced the software tool OCTOPOS. This sequence optimizer combines a detailed mechanistic mathematical modeling of in vivo protein synthesis with a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm to find the sequence that best serves a user's needs. Here, we briefly describe the algorithm and its implementation as well as its application in practice using OCTOPOS.
