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. |
