Abstract

The in vitro transcription (IVT) process is a critical step in RNA production. To ensure the efficiency of RNA manufacturing, it is essential to optimize and identify its key influencing factors. In this study, multiple Gaussian Process (GP) models are used to perform efficient optimization and global sensitivity analysis (GSA). Firstly, multiple GP models were constructed using the data from multiple experimental replicates, accurately capturing the complexities of the IVT process. Then GSA was conducted to determine the dominant reaction factors, specifically the concentrations of reactants NTP and Mg across all data-driven models. Concurrently, a multi-start optimization algorithm was applied to these GP models to identify optimal operational conditions that maximize RNA yields across all surrogate models. These optimized conditions are subsequently validated through additional experimental data.
