Codon Usage Optimizer (CUO) is a GUI-based multiplatform software written in Java. The main function of the software is to optimize genes to be transformed into the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast genome using an original set of algorithms for calculation, data processing and automated reasoning. Furthermore, it can be used as an electronic drawboard for gene sequence analysis and design. While the software focuses on the C.reinhardtii genome, it can also be used to optimize genes into other hosts as well. Since E.coli and S.cerevisiae are popular candidates of biotechnological exploitation, they will be CUO's next shift of focus in its development.
