0. Prep (5 min before)
- Visit the URL to wake the Space (free tier sleeps; first load is slow). Log in once.
- Have the CSV ready to drag in:
demo/demo_sequences_extended.csv(14 constructs). - (Optional) Postgres path β keep these handy for the Import Data β PostgreSQL form:
host
ep-blue-flower-abs3fw0x.eu-west-2.aws.neon.techΒ· port5432Β· dbneondbΒ· userneondb_ownerΒ· passnpg_oJzU6SfIK7ygΒ· tablemrna_sequences - (Optional) For a no-login live demo: delete the
MRNA_STUDIO_PASSWORDsecret in Space settings.
The pitch (say this first, ~30s)
"This is a workbench that takes mRNA sequence data from import all the way to a QC'd, scored, assembled construct β in one no-code UI. I'll walk the funnel: import β analyze & flag liabilities β compare candidates β score β track runs β assemble."
1. Import Data (~90s)
- [Click] the Import Data tab.
- CSV path: drag
demo_sequences_extended.csvonto the uploader β it auto-suggests column mappings (gene_name, cds, UTRsβ¦) β Import Records. - OR Postgres path: choose PostgreSQL, paste the connection details above, Connect β pick table
mrna_sequencesβ Preview β Import Records. - [Say] "It ingests messy real-world tables β component-based or monolithic β and maps them to a structured mRNA model automatically."
2. Worklist β analysis + liability/QC (~3 min) β NEW
- [Click] the Worklist tab β your 14 sequences are listed.
- [Click] the Analysis dropdown β Base Analysis β Run.
- [Show] the new columns populate: GC%, CAI, Homopolymers, Restriction Sites, and the new QC (
Pass/Review Β· score) and Liabilities count. - [Click] a row (e.g.
eGFP-hBG-HEK) β a Liability / QC breakdown appears below the table:- a QC scorecard (0β100 score, Pass/Review/Fail verdict, severity counts),
- a ranked list of flags with severity, detail, location, and a recommendation (e.g. internal restriction site, uORF in the 5β²UTR, elevated uridine).
- [Say] "This is the developability/liability overlay β every candidate gets a QC score and specific, actionable flags, right on the candidate list."
3. Candidate Analysis (~3 min) β NEW
- [Click] the Candidate Analysis tab.
- [Show] the Comparison scorecard β every candidate scored 0β100 on the four mRNA objectives (Expression, Stability, Immunogenicity, Manufacturability) + an Overall, ranked, with a β top-N shortlist (drag the slider).
- [Say] "This is the design trade-off view β a candidate can win on expression but lose on immunogenicity. You rank and shortlist on the criteria that actually matter for mRNA."
- [Use] the Inspect candidate dropdown β the Sequence / structure map shows that molecule's region bands (5β²UTR/CDS/3β²UTR/polyA), GC profile, and markers for restriction sites / homopolymers / liability motifs β i.e. where the problems are β plus its full liability scorecard.
- [Say] "And drill into any candidate to see exactly where its features and liabilities sit."
4. Model Repository (~1 min)
- [Click] the Model Repository tab β browse models; note each has a version.
- [Show] the two built-in scorers: mRNA Stability Scorer and RNA Structure Scorer (and that you can register a local Python model or a remote API endpoint).
5. Score the worklist (~1 min)
- [Click] back to Worklist β Analysis dropdown β pick a model (e.g. mRNA Stability Scorer) β Run.
- [Show] a score column appears; sort by it to rank candidates. Export CSV for the lab.
- (Run a second model too β e.g. RNA Structure Scorer β so you have two runs to compare next.)
6. Experiments β run history + comparison (~2 min) β NEW
- [Click] the Experiments tab.
- [Show] Registered models (with versions) and a Run history table β every scoring run is logged with version, N, mean/range of scores, and timestamp.
- [Use] the Compare runs dropdowns (Run A baseline β Run B) β a summary shows mean Ξ, β² improved / βΌ worsened counts and a per-sequence delta table.
- [Say] "This is the lifecycle layer: track every scoring run and compare versions or scorers to see exactly which candidates moved and by how much."
7. Parts Workshop β Assemble β Generate (~2 min)
- Parts Workshop: browse reusable parts (5β²UTR / Kozak / CDS / 3β²UTR / poly-A) and compose.
- Assemble Plasmid: pick the pUC19-MCS backbone, run QC, export the assembled construct.
- Generate Sequences: produce a codon-optimized variant.
- [Say] "Close the loop β assemble into a plasmid with QC, or generate optimized variants."
If you only have 3 minutes
Import demo_sequences_extended.csv β Worklist Run base analysis β click a row for the
liability breakdown β Candidate Analysis scorecard + map β score a model β Experiments compare.
That hits the four differentiators (QC liability, candidate comparison, scoring, experiment tracking).
Likely questions
- "Where does data live?" β CSV/Excel upload or a PostgreSQL connection you provide.
- "Custom models?" β register a local Python model or a remote API endpoint; runs are tracked.
- "How is this like/unlike ENPICOM?" β same no-code, data+AI philosophy; this is the
design/build + light-liability side (mRNA), not NGS-scale repertoire discovery. See
demo/ENPICOM_gap_analysis.md. - "Is it hosted?" β runs on Hugging Face Spaces (Docker); also runs locally with
make run.
