Summary:The present invention provides a method of selecting a mRNA for production of a polypeptide of interest comprising: a) producing an array of individual mRNA sequences comprising different nucleotide sequences encoding the polypeptide of interest; b) determining one or more or two or more of the following parameters for each individual mRNA sequence of (a): (i) minimum free energy (MFE) RNA secondary structure; (ii) ensemble free energy (EFE); (iii) frequency of the minimum free energy (FMFE) RNA secondary structure in a thermodynamic ensemble; and (iv) ensemble diversity (ED); c) ranking the individual mRNA sequences of the array according the parameters determined in step (b); and d) selecting a mRNA sequence from the ranked array of step (c), wherein the selected mRNA produces the polypeptide of interest. The present invention further provides a method of selecting a mRNA for enhanced and reduced production of a polypeptide of interest.
