Properties

Name Type Description
aaSequenceIds array IDs of AA sequences to back-translate.
avoidedCutsiteEnzymeIds array List of enzyme IDs whose recognition sites will be avoided when creating the back-translated sequence.
codonUsageTableId string ID of the codon usage table representing the target organism.
folderId string ID of the folder in which the back-translated sequences will be saved.
gcContent string The amount of GC content in the optimized sequence. LOW is defined as below 0.33, MEDIUM as 0.33-0.66, and HIGH as above 0.66. If neither gcContent nor gcContentRange is specified, the optimization wi
gcContentRange object Custom GC content range for the optimized sequence, specified as decimal values between 0 and 1. The maximum must be greater than the minimum. Cannot be specified together with gcContent.
hairpinParameters object These parameters are applied in the AvoidHairpins specification in DNAChisel. If hairpinParameters is not specified, hairpins will not be avoided.
method string The codon optimization algorithm to use. Requires codonUsageTableId to be specified. MATCH_CODON_USAGE selects codons probabilistically based on the organism's codon usage frequencies. USE_BEST_CODON
reducedPatterns array List of patterns to avoid when creating the back-translated sequence, on the coding strand only.
schemaId string ID of the resulting DNA sequences' schemas
shouldDepleteUridine boolean If not specified, the back-translation will default to false, and mRNA uridine depletion will not be performed.
