High-throughput 5′ UTR engineering for enhanced protein production in non-viral gene therapies

The engineering of 5′ UTRs that modulate protein expression remains a great challenge. Here we leverage synthetic biology and computational design to develop a high-throughput strategy to design, screen, and optimize 5′ UTRs that enhance protein expression for non-viral gene therapies.
