mRNAutilus: Multi-Objective-Guided Discrete Generation of mRNA with Optimized Therapeutic Properties
arXiv:2605.31296v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Therapeutic mRNA design requires coordinating multiple interacting sequence features across the full transcript, where codon usage, untranslated regions (UTRs), and their coupling jointly determine stability, translation efficiency, and protein expression. Here, we present mRNA generation via unrolled trajectories and informed latent updates (mRNAutilus), a framework for simultaneous codon optimization and de novo UTR design directly from sequence. mRNAutilus combines a masked discrete diffusion model trained on millions of full-length mRNAs wi
The convergence of advanced AI models with biological engineering is enabling sophisticated design of therapeutic molecules at an accelerated pace, moving beyond traditional trial-and-error methods.
This development represents a significant step towards more effective and precisely engineered mRNA therapeutics, potentially revolutionizing vaccine development and disease treatment.
The ability to simultaneously optimize multiple mRNA sequence features using AI will lead to more stable, potent, and efficient mRNA drugs, reducing development time and improving patient outcomes.
