브랜드 Dharmacon™
제품특징

Dharmacon siRNA products are the result of scientific innovation in siRNA design and novel modification strategies to optimize potency, specificity and delivery.

 

>ON-TARGETplus siRNA

Enjoy optimal specificity from the only siRNA with a patented modification pattern to reduce off-targets caused by either the sense or the antisense strand.

>Accell siRNA

Specially modified for delivery into difficult-to-transfect cells without a transfection reagent, Accell enables non-viral RNAi in neuronal, immune, and stem cells.

>siGENOME siRNA

Highly potent siRNA for all human, mouse, and rat genes. siGENOME has provided the longest standing siRNA silencing guarantee on the market.

>Lincode siRNA

siRNAs for efficient knockdown of long, noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes with modifications to ensure specificity.

>Custom siRNA Synthesis

No pre-designed product to fit your needs? Use our online design tools and extensive synthesis options to create a custom siRNA specific for your application.

주요사항

>siRNA design

Our scientists were the first to establish siRNA design rules for high potency silencing and continue to drive innovation in this area. The SMARTselection algorithm selects highly functional and specific siRNAs for all of our predesigned products, enabling us to offer a functionality guarantee for all three of our major product lines: ON-TARGETplus, siGENOME, and Accell reagents.

>SMARTpool technology

Pooling of siRNAs better mimics the natural RNAi pathway, and when combined with SMARTselection design, provides advantages for both potency and specificity.

-Targeting four mRNA regions at once improves the likelihood of effective silencing and reduces false negatives due to inaccessible binding sites

-Lower relative concentration of each siRNA reduces sequence-specific off-targeting

-All Dharmacon predesigned siRNA products are all available as SMARTpool reagents or up to 4 individual siRNAs

>Reducing off-targets for better specificity

The primary source of siRNA-mediated off targets is the seed region (nucleotides 2-7) which uses the microRNA pathway to induce non-specific gene silencing via interactions within the 3' UTR. Seed region filters and seed frequency analysis are incorporated in the SMARTselection siRNA design strategy to reduce microRNA-like off-target activity. Dharmacon siRNA products provide the most comprehensive bioinformatic strategies to mitigate off-targeting.

-Conserved microRNA seed regions are filtered out of siRNA designs

-Frequency analysis of siRNA seed complements (how often this occurs in the 3' UTR transcriptome) are performed and preference is given to siRNA designs with low-frequency seeds
