Software

Calculate the silent mutation encoding potential of your sequence

See release commit here


Unlike conventional bulk measurements, which only display the mean of data, ALiVE opens the door to vast gene reporter multiplexing and single-cell transcriptomics. We developed an end-user friendly app to compute a reporter's encoding potential: "Silentcode" is a software to calculate the possible combinations of silent mutations within a transcript of interest. During the development of ALiVE, our transcript of choice was a luciferase due to versatile applications, e.g. luminescence assays and qPCR. By using Silentcode, we were able to calculate the number of different markers we could create (2,24*10^272) without impacting the encoded protein itself. Silentcode's intuitive interface allows the user to enter the nucleotide sequence into the input field and retrieve the data after one click plus possible data volume in bytes. This could nowadays be applied for cell differentiation experiments or function as barcodes, but in the future also contribute as a synthetic-biology storage medium for technical data.
