Design small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences with maximum target-specificity for mammalian RNA interference.
Highlights:
Highly effective siRNA sequences are selected using novel guidelines that were established through an extensive study of the relationship between siRNA sequences and RNAi activity.
It avoids off-target gene silencing to enumerate potential cross-hybridization candidates that the widely used BLAST search may overlook.
The program accepts an arbitrary sequence as input and quickly returns siRNA candidates, providing a wide scope of applications in mammalian RNAi, including systematic functional genomics and therapeutic gene silencing.
