| # 🧬 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 | | |
