Abstract

 

QPSOBT is a codon usage optimization software based on the Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (QPSO) algorithm. It can design synthetic genes of multikilobase sequences for protein heterologous expression rapidly. The program runs on .NET platform. Compared to the existing codon optimization software and web services, QPSOBT is able to generate better results when DNA/RNA sequence length is less than 6 kb which is a commonly-used range, especially when some restriction sites need to be removed. QPSOBT is freely available (www.sigcib.org/qpsobt.html).

 

Key words: Codon usage, quantum-behaved particle swarm, optimization, protein expression.
