Résumé
The existent algebraic models of the genetic code contribute to the understanding of the physio-chemical characteristics of the amino acids. However, the process of translating a gene into a phenotype is highly complex. Moreover, the intricacy of gene expression gets further multiplied due to the biases in the codon usage. This paper explores an algebraic structure called module on the set of codons as well as on that of RNA sequences. We study the potential implications of these structures on gene expression and the GC content of an RNA sequence. The base order {C,U,G,A} appears to possess greater biological significance than many of the orders previously studied. We have developed a novel algorithm to generate RNA sequences with high GC content, aiming to enhance the thermostability of biomolecules. The insights gained from this investigation may have applications in biomolecular modeling and docking, protein engineering, drug development, and related fields.
