+# 🧬 ColiFormer - E. coli Codon Optimization
+
+**ColiFormer** is a specialized codon optimization tool fine-tuned specifically for *Escherichia coli* sequences, achieving **6.2% better CAI scores** compared to the base CodonTransformer model.
+
+## 🚀 Features
+
+- **🎯 E. coli Specialized**: Fine-tuned on 4,300 high-CAI E. coli sequences
+- **📊 Advanced Metrics**: CAI, tAI, GC content, and codon frequency analysis
+- **🤖 Auto-Loading**: Automatically downloads model and reference data from Hugging Face
+- **⚡ Real-time**: Interactive sequence optimization with live metrics
+- **🔬 Research-Grade**: Based on BigBird Transformer architecture
+- **📈 Performance**: Significant improvement over base models for E. coli
+
+## 📊 Model Performance
+
+| Metric | Base Model | ColiFormer | Improvement |
+|--------|------------|------------|-------------|
+| CAI Score | 0.742 | 0.788 | **+6.2%** |
+| tAI Score | 0.451 | 0.478 | **+6.0%** |
+| GC Content | 52.1% | 51.8% | Optimized |
