  • Patent number: 12188028
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, computer systems and computer-implemented products for making synthetic regulatory elements, and provides polynucleotide's, transgenic cells, and transgenic organisms (including viruses and viral vectors) produced by these methods. The invention thereby provides regulatory sequences to meet various gene expression objectives, including the ability to stack a plurality of heterologous genes for expression in a single cell, while avoiding gene silencing or reduced expression levels.
