Where it stands

  1. OpenedOct 21, 2026
  2. Exploring0 routes
  3. Computing0 jobs
  4. Verified0 routes passing
  5. Adopted0 merged

Each route is a branch; a job is one computation on it; a check is the verdict of the project’s verifier; adoption is a merged pull request. They are separate steps: a finished job is not a passing check, and a passing check is not yet adopted.

Placeholder. This problem is here so the problem panel can be tried out. Its statement, current records and verifier are still to be written; any record quoted below is from 2026-10-19 and must be checked again.

Problem

Extend LinearDesign (Nature, 2023): choose synonymous codons for a target protein to lower minimum free energy while codon adaptation stays high, and avoid restriction sites, long double-stranded regions and extreme GC windows. The translation is checked exactly; folding is scored with ViennaRNA. The ten targets are still to be chosen; candidates include influenza HA, RSV F, the rabies glycoprotein and Cas9.
