Summary

SwiftLib is a computational method for optimizing degenerate codon libraries using dynamic programming. It is designed to rapidly generate degenerate-codon-library designs and was reported to improve on an existing integer-linear programming formulation for this task.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

SwiftLib is useful for designing degenerate codon libraries and is reported to provide rapid optimization through a dynamic programming approach. The method is also freely available through a web server, which supports practical access to the design workflow.

Source:

It then extends the algorithm to consider multiple DCs at each position, a heretofore unsolved problem, while adhering to a constraint on the number of primers needed to synthesize the library.
