Gene Synthesis> | The most commonly used programs for siRNA designs (such as siRNA Target Finder at Ambion Inc., siDesign at Dharmacon Inc., siRNA Target Finder at GenScript Inc., OptiRNAi [10], Si-RNA DEsign [11] and the Gene-specific siRNA Selector [12], etc.) are all web server-based. | Get A Quote |
RNA interference (RNAi) is a popular and effective method for silencing gene expression. siRNAs should be gene-specific and effective to achieve specific and potent gene silencing. However, most currently available siRNA design programs are web-based programs that either require each sequence be submitted individually, making large-batch analyses difficult to conduct, or only provide limited options for searching off-target candidates (e.g. NCBI-BLAST). We have developed a stand-alone, enhanced RNAi design program that overcomes these shortcomings. We have implemented WU-BLAST, FASTA and SSEARCH homology searches for siRNA candidates to improve gene specific siRNA selection and to identity siRNA candi... More
