SECISDesign: a server to design SECIS-elements within the coding sequence

Summary: SECISDesign is a server for the design of SECIS-elements and arbitrary RNA-elements within the coding sequence of an mRNA. The element has to satisfy both structure and sequence constraints. At the same time, a certain amino acid similarity to the original protein has to be kept. The designed sequence can be used for recombinant expression of selenoproteins in Escherichia coli.
Availability: The server is available at http://www.bio.inf.uni-jena.de/Software/SECISDesign/index.html
